I suspect Maryland's PSC has the same number, back into the 1970's when it was the Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone Company, part of the Bell System. When My Wife and I moved back to the house I grew up in in 1983, C&P had just been ordered by the PSC to allow anyone who knew telephone wiring to do it, not just C&P folks. A good long time friend of mine who all the tools and I rewired the phone lines, putting phone jacks and wall phones in every room (on three floors) except the bathrooms (Bell System practices forbade standard phones in bathrooms due to the 92 volt ringing current. Drop the phone in the bathtub (with water in it) while it rings and bye-bye user.) Today Verzoff lets everybody with tools do it (for a hefty price) with the lots of portable phones today you can have a phone in a bathtub (but don't drop it in the water). Potables are cheaper than ever, we just replaced a 3 portable system with a 4 phone portable system for less $$$ that the old system. |
