Faster Bell Atlantic Directory Assistance Service


Customers dialing 411 or 555-1212 can quickly advance through the automated
Directory Assistance Service greeting
and prompts of "What City?" and "What Listing?"
by using the pound key (#).

Here's how it works:

When you hear "Welcome to Bell Atlantic Directory Assistance Service." PRESS the pound key (#) at anytime to advance.

Next you hear "What City?" Say the city or town, PRESS the pound key (#) to advance.

Next you hear "What Listing?" Say the name of the person associated with the telephone number you want, PRESS the pound key (#).

Your responses will start the search by an operator for the telephone number.
An automated voice will provide you with the correct number.

A Bell Atlantic Directory Assistance operator will come on the line if the listing is not found,
if more information is needed, or if what you requested was not understood.
