AT&T Private Pay Phone Plus February, 1988
B Preliminary Planning
What your AT&T Private Pay Phone Plus will charge for a local or long distance call depends
on what rates are programmed for the phone. How the phone responds to certain
diagnostic alarms also depends on how the phone is programmed.
You may choose to program your telephone(s) yourself, or you may choose to subscribe to
AT& T's programming service. Other rate services are also available.
You can program all the rates and pay phone information yourself using a personal computer
(PC) running a CoinSoft@l program. You will also be able to monitor the diagnostic alarms
and other messages about your phone's condition yourself, at your PC. Using the computer,
your telephones can "tell" you when some problems occur, when the coin box is getting full,
how much cash is in each coin box, how many calls have been made at each telephone,
and other business information.
A variety of options exists for rate programming, monitoring alarms and conditions, and
changing programming. To request rate programming, or to examine your programming and
customizing options, see your AT&T dealer.
Whether you or AT&T does your rate programming, you can easily have your pay phone
charge the same rates as the public coin telephones owned by the local phone companies.
To request rate programming, call your AT&T dealer or consult the AT&T General Business
Systems Source Book.
