PERSON-TO-PERSON These are calls in which the caller wishes to speak to a particular person. When the operator comes on the line, say that you are placing a person-to-person call and give the name of the person to whom you wish to speak. The operator will ask for your particular party and charges do not begin until you have started talking to that person. These calls may be more expensive than station-to-station calls.Person-to-person charges also apply if your party was not available and you decided to speak with anyone at that number.
