Dear Customer,
Thank you for choosing to use San Bruno Digital Phone!
New technology makes it possible for us to provide telephone
service to you over our existing broadband system, and because
the investment in the system is behind us, we are able to provide
service at very reasonable rates.
Our telephone service does what you expect, but with more fea-
tures and at a lower price. You can call all of the people that you
call today and there will be no distinction between your local and
your long distance telephone companies. Using the simple features
that come with our telephone service, it will be easy for you to
reach people, and it will be easier for people to reach you.
Our San Bruno Digital Phone requires you to use a touch tone
telephone. We recommend a telephone that has a Caller ID dis-
play and a “FLASH” button. While you can access all of the basic
features by telephone, you can access even more features via the
internet if you have a computer and go to www.digitaldialtone.net.
Using a computer and the internet, however, is not a requirement
for you to use San Bruno Digital Phone.
This User Guide provides information that you may find useful in
order to use all of the features of our new telephone service. We
hope you find San Bruno Digital Phone enjoyable to use. We are
pleased to provide it for you.
WELCOME!
The Staff at San Bruno
