Every time you deal with a customer, do you know who you're dealing with?

Telecommunications Americas, Oct, 2003

You do when you're working with BellSouth. Our National Operator Assistance Service provides both LIDB validation and billed number screening. With LIDB, you can verify calling card and collect calls, as well as 3rd number, dial around and more. As more customers use your network for their calling needs, additional LIDB features like OLNS and GetData increase fraud protection and reduce uncollectables by supplying detailed data on line ownership and billing account centers. In addition to our Operator Assistance Services, we also provide National and Local Directory Assistance Services. All of our services are designed to help you control costs, streamline operations and meet customer demands. We offer domestic call centers and a single point of contact. You'll have operators who know how to listen and answer. Most of all, you'll have the comfort of doing business with a company people have called on for over 100 years.
