This appeared in this month's "Hello", the little flyer that comes with my NYTEL bill. It appears verbatim. Public Telephone Users Be Aware... ... not all public phones are alike. Every public telphone you use may not be a New York Telephone Public Phone. New York Telephone wants you to know what to look for when you are using a public phone. You can easily spot a New York Telephone Public Phone. Here's what to look for: o Blue New York Telephone logo at the top left hand corner of the phone. o Upper dial instruction card with a picture of the New York Telephone Calling Card and "We're all connected." [NYTEL's wonderful new slogan JBA] o A lower dial instruction card with easy to read directions on how to make local, long distance, collect, and calling card calls. There are many reasons for using a New York Telephone Public Phone. New York Telephone offers you: o reasonable usage rates for local calls that are regulated and have no hidden charges o no charge to call our operator or for directory assistance within New York State o no charge for 911 emergency calls (where available) o no charge to call 611 repair service o make collect calls, calling card, and emergency calls without inserting a coin o reliable service Don't forget, when you need a public phone, look for a *real* New York Telephone Public Phone. We're all connected. DISCLAIMER: This isn't Columbia. This is me.
