On page 17 of my phone book it says:
You are charged 60 cents when the number you request appears in this
directory or directories automatically delivered to you.
There is no Directory Assistance charge for:
- calls from pay phones
- calls from hospital rooms
- calls from hotels or motels that have an agreement with Bell Canada
Exemptions
- certified disabled persons who cannot use the directory
- certified functionally illiterate persons
- people suffering from a temporary disability preventing them from using
the directory
Persons 65 years of age or older may apply for an exemption by calling
their local Business Office and providing their Senior Citizen
Privilege number.
Exception - calls to the United States
You are charged 80 cents for each call (after the 250th) to the United
States Directory Assistance operator.
The same exemption list appears for the U.S. part. Interestingly enough,
there's no period for the 250 calls.
