I believe the address to TURN is: 625 Polk St. S.F. CA. 94102 505.550.6500 I have recently written to them concerning GTE's customer policy but have not heard from them yet. It is my belief that prior to 1995, it was GTE's policy to sell the Measured Rate Service to as many customers as possible. Measured Rate is policy that allows GTE to charge for every phone call made, regardless if it is within the ten mile "free call zone" aka Basic Service. This allowed GTE to make windfall profits at the expense of unknowing customers. It is also GTE's policy to refuse to tell their customers what type of service when asked !! How about that for Customer Relations? If I could switch my Basic Service from GTE to any other carrier I would because it is my understanding that GTE has one of the highest rates for the Local Short Haul Toll calls in the nation. These calls are outside the 10 mile "free call zone" but inside a radius of fourty mile radius.
