	Telephone call - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A telephone call may consist of an ordinary voice transmission using a telephone, a data transmission when the calling party and called party are using modems, or a facsimile transmission when the two parties are using fax machines.
		Most telephone calls in the world are set up using ISUP messages or one of its variants between telephone exchanges to establish the end to end connection.
		Fees are charged telephone calls depending on the provider of the service, the type of service being used (a call placed from a hardline or wired telephone will have one rate, and a call placed from a mobile telephone will have a different rate), and the distance between the calling and the called parties.

	Telephone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unlike a mobile phone, a cordless telephone is considered to be landline because it is only useable within a short distance of a small personal or domestic base station connected to a fixed phone line.
		The very early history of the telephone is a confusing morass of claim and counterclaim, which was not clarified by the huge mass of lawsuits which hoped to resolve the patent claims of individuals.
		The first commercial transatlantic telephone call was between New York City and London and occurred on January 7, 1927.

	Unwanted Telephone Marketing Calls
		A “telephone solicitation” is a telephone call that acts as an advertisement.

		The term “telephone solicitation” does not include calls or messages placed with the consumer’s prior expressed permission, by or on behalf of a tax-exempt non-profit organization, or from a person or organization with whom the consumer has an established business relationship.

	Call Splashing
		When you place a long distance call from a public phone (a payphone, hotel, or airport phone, for example), your call may be routed to a distant call center before being "handed off" to your chosen long distance carrier.
		This is called "call splashing," and it may be in violation of Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules.
		If your phone call has been billed without your consent as if the call originated from a distant call center, and the rate is higher than you anticipated, complain to your preferred long distance carrier so you can receive the correct billing rate.

		Because of the irregular nature of telephone operator schedules, many employers seek part-time workers for those shifts that are difficult to fill.
		Employment of communications equipment operators is projected to decline through 2014, due largely to new labor-saving communications technologies, the movement of jobs to foreign countries, and consolidation of telephone operator jobs into fewer locations, often staffed by temporary or contract workers.
		As the functions of telephones and computers converge, the convenience of Internet directory assistance is expected to attract many customers, reducing the need for telephone operators to provide this service.
