ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
Federal Government Lifeline Program for Low-Income Telephone Assistance is available at Cooperative Telephone Exchange. This is a Lifeline-supported service that only eligible consumers may enroll in. Consumers must complete an Iowa Lifeline Assistance Certification Form and provide supporting documentation. This program is limited to one benefit per household, wireline or wireless. Lifeline is a government benefit program and consumers who willfully make false statements in order to obtain the benefit can be punished by fine or imprisonment or barred from the program.
Contact the business office for details on Low Income Telephone Assistance Program.
PREVENTING AND DETECTING BILLING FOR "CRAMMING"
Cramming is the practice of placing unauthorized, misleading or deceptive charges on a customer's telephone bill. Cooperative Telephone Exchange offers Third Party Blocking, Toll Blocking or Toll Limitation services. Third Party Blocking will help prevent the placement of unauthorized charges on customer telephone bills, an unlawful and fraudulent practice referred to as “cramming”. To detect these unauthorized charges, Cooperative Telephone Exchange separates all Miscellaneous Charges and Credits on the toll statement of each bill, which allows customers to define legitimate “telecommunication charges” from “cramming”.
Cooperative Telephone Exchange cannot guarantee ALL Third Party calls will be blocked.
