Bernice Barrett, Carolina Telephone's district commercial manager, said, "Because of technical considerations, the availability of new features varies from exchange to exchange. "Additional information on the new features will be mailed in the near future with customers' bills, and will be in the Customer Guide section at the front of your next directory." This new Traffic Service Posi tion System, known as TSPS, went into service last year in about half of Carolina Telephone's ex changes, and will be in service companywide before the end of 1985. Fayetteville customers are being converted to TSPS during September and October. Customers at St. Pauls, Parkton, Raeford, Red Springs and Maxton without TSPS already can dial "0" plus the number they are calling, but they have to give the operator the number they are calling from. After this new equipment goes into service, it will not be necessary for these customers to give the operator either the number being called or the calling number. That feature also will be available to persons making calls from public telephones in these communities. With this feature, callers from public telephones only need to give the operator special instructions, saving their time and improving billing accuracy. When a customer dials "0" plus the number, TSPS alerts an operator, who then asks for special instructions. Calling cards Persons using Calling Cards to place calls from a U-touch telephone can benefit from another feature of TSPS. If a customer subscribes to U-touch service and dials "0" plus (area code if required) a seven-digit number, a special tone will sound in the receiver. After the tone, the person simp ly keys in his 14-digit Calling Card number. The call is then connected and billed -- by computer. The caller does not have to recite the Calling Card number to the operator, saving lime and pro viding greater security. Public telephones also will have this feature. Public telephone calls billed to a third party number require ap proval bv the third party, but customers using Calling Cards never have to worry about billing acceptance. In addition, customers will not have to be concerned about having correct change. Calling Card calls that are customer-dialed station-to-station are billed at lower rates than operator handled calls. Customers with rotary telephones also will hear the tone, but they still will have to recite the Calling Card number to the operator. Customers can get a Calling Card by contacting a Carolina Telephone business office. International DDD Just as TSPS makes calling easier in thp United States, it will make international calling easier. Currently, when customers want to make an international call, they must dial "0" and have the operator connect them with the in ternational operator. With TSPS, customers in St. Pauls, Parkton, Raeford, Red Springs and Maxton will be able to dial direct to most foreign coun tries. A listing for many foreign coun tries and cities will be included in the next directory. This same listing is available now from the business office serv ing these communities.
