North State to Levy Directory Assistance Charges This Summer
North State Telephone will implement a directory assistance charge starting June 6 for extras beyond a monthly free allotment. Residents in High Point Thomasville and Randleman will receive five free calls per month then pay 20 cents per extra call. The move aligns with an NC Utilities Commission directive applying similar charges statewide. Regular rates for outlying area calls will be reduced by 10 percent to offset revenue. When calling for numbers, callers must provide their own number, and charges may apply if the number is not used after a provided number is charged.
