New customers pay as low as $99.97 for Charter's triple-play bundle.

Enhanced 911 emergency service comes standard with Charter Telephone. When dialing 911, the customer's call is directly routed to the nearest public safety operator and the address is automatically transmitted. Directory assistance (411) and listings in the local telephone directory are also available.

Charter Telephone reached the 500,000 customer mark in February of this year, and has more than quadrupled its number of customers since the beginning of 2006. Today it passes nearly 7 million homes, and Charter plans to launch telephone service in more markets this year.
