This charge is used to provide service to high cost areas where it is
very expensive to provide service. In Oklahoma, the charge applies
to intrastate toll charges.
FCC aCCess Charge
The FCC Access charge is a monthly surcharge approved by
the FCC. Local telephone companies collect subscriber line
charges to help ensure that each customer has equal and
reasonable access to the long-distance carrier of his or her
choice and recover the cost of the installation and maintenance
of the telephone wire, poles and other facilities that link
a customer’s home to the telephone network. The FCC nor any
other government agency receives the subscriber line charges.

Use a screwdriver or other tools with insulated handles.
2.
Do not touch screw terminals or bare conductors with your hands.
3.
Do not work on your telephone wiring while a thunderstorm is
in the vicinity.

outlet or junction box containing electrical wiring.
