TELUS ADDS COURTESY REMINDER TO AWARENESS CAMPAIGN
By Adnews Staff
In an ongoing province-wide awareness campaign, TELUS of Alberta has begun reminding customers who mis-dial a number to use area code 780 when calling northern Alberta. On January 25 the 780 area code came into service. An advertising campaign that began last March prepared Albertans for the change. The transition period for the area code change ends May 18. Until that date, TELUS will continue to remind residents of Alberta of the new area code with radio and newspaper advertising, as well as the new courtesy reminder, which will be heard every time a customers dials a number still using the 403 area code. The radio and newspaper ads were created by Margaret Kool Marketing of Edmonton. TELUS Corp. is owned by BCT.TELUS.
