The time and date will be programmed

is successfully received.
The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment,
operations or procedures where such action is required in the operation of its business. If
these changes are expected to affect the use or performance of your telephone equipment,
the telephone company will likely give you adequate notice to allow you to maintain

number is called. In most (but not all) areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices
connected to one line should not exceed 5. To be certain of the number of
devices you may connect to your line as determined by the REN, you should
contact your local telephone company.
