KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, U.S.A., 1990 JAN 15 (NB) -- US Sprint, which lets the major Bell companies and other large independents take care of its billing, will now offer the same option to more than 1,300 independent telephone companies through two industry groups, Independent NECA Services, and National Independent Billing Limited Partnership. The agreements mean US Sprint customers will be able to have their long-distance charges appear as part of the monthly bill from their local phone company.
