Sec. 64.705  Restrictions on charges related to the provision of 
          operator services.

    (a) A provider of operator services shall:
    (1) Not bill for unanswered telephone calls in areas where equal 
access is available;
    (2) Not knowingly bill for unanswered telephone calls where equal 
access is not available;
    (3) Not engage in call splashing, unless the consumer requests to be 
transferred to another provider of operator services, the consumer is 
informed prior to incurring any charges that the rates for the call may 
not reflect the rates from the actual originating location of the call, 
and the consumer then consents to be transferred;
    (4) Except as provided in paragraph (a)(3) of this section, not bill 
for a call that does not reflect the location of the origination of the 
call; and
    (5) Ensure, by contract or tariff, that each aggregator for which 
such provider is the presubscribed provider of operator services is in 
compliance with the requirements of paragraph (b) of this section.
    (b) An aggregator shall ensure that no charge by the aggregator to 
the consumer for using an ``800'' or ``950'' access code number, or any 
other access code number, is greater than the amount the aggregator 
charges for calls placed using the presubscribed provider of operator 
services.
