** OBTAINING DATA FROM HOME,"AS OF: May 1, 1991"
First. Make a list of the major companies you have purchased Products
from. Things like your automobile, RV, boat, Appliances, House, Stereo,
TV, Computer Equipment, furniture, garden tools, clothing, etc., etc.
Second. On a separate piece of paper make a list of Services that you
use such as insurance, Realtor, attorney, appliance repair, handyman,
medical, public transportation, travel service, entertainment ticketing,
accountant, bank, credit card issuer, etc., etc.
Third. Schedule an hour or two of your time after 9 pm during a weekday
or during a Saturday/Sunday morning. Get a pad of paper or turn on your
computer and get the data entry screen up for FONE800(tm). Then call the
toll free information operator listed below and ask for the toll free
number for the companies you have on the lists. NOTE: You only need the
last seven digits. FONE800(tm) automatically adds the 1-800. You can
usually get two or three numbers per call, if you call during the
suggested off-hours, and treat the information operator with a little
courtesy. You can call back several times to complete your list.
THE TOLL FREE INFORMATION NUMBER IS: 1-800-555-1212
NOTE: Data is subject to change without notice.
** TOLL FREE PUBLICATIONS
There are several publications available to you thru your public library.
The next time you visit your library (or take the kids down for a visit)
ask the Reference Librarian for publications on Toll Free telephone
services. Save some time! Visit the Reference Desk first, before you
browse thru the card catalogue, book shelves, and racks, not all the
Toll Free reference information publications are on the shelf. The hot
items are stashed at the Reference Desk for ready reference and to
reduce theft.
I have listed several Publication resources on the next few screens for
you that contain 800 Toll-Free telephone numbers. Spend a few minutes
just paging thru the publication that seems to apply to your interests.
I am sure you will find some Toll Free information you will want for
your personal ready reference data base in FONE800(tm). The latest
edition of these publications can be purchased thru most major book
stores or directly from the publisher.
