Effective October 1, 1966, reductions in intra.
atate Long Distance rates and additional hours
for bargain calling will save Kansans $1,320,000
annually.
The reductions are the result of joint studies
by the Kansas Corporation Commission and
Southwestern Bell. This is the third reduction
in Long Distance rates in the past four years.
In a time when most prices are rising, South-
western Bell is glad to be able to offer these
savings on Long Distance charges. We believe
continuing service improvement and operating
efficiencies will justify these reductions.
The reductions apply to both station-to-sta-
tion and person-to-person calls between most
cities in Kansas that are 39 miles or more apart.
The changes are:
i. On most 3-minute station-to-station calls,
day and evening rates will be reduced 5 to
20 cents. For most 3-minute person-to-
person calls, day and night rates will be
reduced 5 to 30 cents.*
.
The low night rates will go into effect one
hour earlier at 8 p.m. instead of 9 p.m.
The new low night rates also will apply
all day Sunday.
8. Evening station-to-station rates will start
at 6 p.m. and end at 8 p.m. Monday
through Friday. Evening rates also will
apply all day Saturday until 8 p.m., when
the lower night rates become effective.
Kansans who call friends and relatives within
the state at night or on Sunday are expected
to benefit most from the new reduced rates.
Under the new schedule the lowest night rates
will be available to Kansas telephone users an
additional 22 hours a week. The lower evening
rates will be available for an additional
hours on Saturday.
h
*On sent-pald station-to-station calls a two-
minut¢ minimum initial period is applicable.
The initial period /or col[ect, credit card, and
all person-to-person calls i~ three minutes. The
rate Ior a two.minute call is approximately
two-third# tl~ cost o] a 3-minute call.
