Spread out those calls

B.C. TEL is expecting to handie more than 2.5 million long dis-
tance calls Christmas Day. And while its putting 750 operators
on duty for the day, the company has suggestions on improving
the chances of your call getting through.

One is to spread calls over Christmas Eve and on Boxing Day
because extra operators will also be on duty, And don’t call be-
tween 7:30 a.m, and 1:30 p.m. or 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. Christmas
Day because these are peak periods.

Get phone numbers ahead of time and avoid directory as-
sistance which chews up Operator time. Direct call because it is

’ cheaper,
