New call signs to ke issued by B.C. Tel B.C. Tel is introducing new call signs for radio- telephone customers design- ed to result in more efficient use of the network. Gil Auchinleck, vice- president of network ser- vices, said the change to station identity numbers will occur in two phases, be- ginning April 15 for radio- telephones on’ commercial and pleasure boats, aircraft and for fixed land stations; and the second phase is scheduled for Oct. 6 for land mobile and public coin radio- telephones. Auchinleck said the new system will help reduce the time needed by B.C. Tel operators to verify valid accounts and in turn speed the processing of calls, there- by i ing the bers also will permit com- puterized billing, as well as allow radiotelephone listing information to be included in the computerized ‘directory assistance system now in use throughout the provide-wide network. Auchinleck said present call signs vary in the number of letters and digits, depend- ing upon the type of service. The new identification meth- od will be easily discernable from other numbering sys- tems now being used.
