The purpose of these rules is to reduce slamming and other telecommunications fraud by setting standards for bills for telecommunications service.

Sections 64.2401(a)(2), 64.2401(a)(3), 64.2401(c), and 64.2401(f) shall not apply to providers of Commercial Mobile Radio Service as defined in § 20.9 of this chapter, or to other providers of mobile service as defined in § 20.7 of this chapter, unless the Commission determines otherwise in a further rulemaking.
(2)
Sections 64.2401(a)(3) and 64.2401(f) shall not apply to bills containing charges only for intrastate services.
