Urgent Consumer Advisory

The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC or Commission) is sending you this advisory because our records indicate that you are a current telephone customer of Long Distance Charges, Inc. (LDC) and/or Least Cost Routing, Inc. (LCR) 18for intrastate toll calling within California or interstate long-distance telephone services.

The Commission has ordered LDC and LCR to stop providing telephone service to consumers in California, beginning on the day after _______, 2001. On or before that date, you must switch from LDC or LCR to another toll and long distance telephone service carrier of your choice. If you do not switch by ______, 2001, you may have no toll or long distance telephone service after such date.

To find out who is your current toll and long distance telephone service carrier, examine your most recent telephone billing statement. It will state the name of the telephone company billing you for toll calls within California and for long-distance, interstate calls outside of California. Or, you may call your local telephone carrier (for example, Pacific Bell or GTEC) for this information.

To choose a new toll and long distance company, call your local telephone carrier, such as Pacific Bell or GTE, and notify them of your choice. Your local telephone carrier will charge you a fee for switching to another toll and long-distance carrier. Enclosed is a check for your deposit, to defray all or part of the cost for switching to another carrier.

Disregard this advisory if you determine that neither LDC nor LCR is currently your toll and/or long distance telephone service.

If you have questions about this letter, you may telephone toll-free the California Public Utilities Commission, Consumers Services Division, at 1-800-900-3985.
