Subpart 1:Ex-Directory Calls Offered - Not Available for New Supply |
|
This is a service for a customer whose number is Ex-Directory. The operator will connect calls to the number at the customer's discretion. |
When the customer's number is requested from Directory Enquiries, the caller will be told that the number is ex-directory, but that the customer may accept a call connected by the operator. The caller must dial the 100 operator to use this service. |
The 100 operator will call the ex-directory number and ask if the customer wishes to accept the call. It will only be connected if the customer agrees. The caller must give the operator any information needed by the ex-directory customer to decide whether to accept the call. |
Neither Directory Enquiries nor the 100 operator will give the ex-directory number to the caller. |
Eligibility | | This service is available to any BT line with an ex-directory number. |
