What every Canadian is supposed to have. This refers to standard residential telephone service which is supposed to be provided to most Canadians. Current "basic service" features include: hearing a dial tone when you pick up your phone; being able to call an operator when you need one; getting your name listed in the phone book; getting repair service; being able to make local or long distance calls be dialing direct instead of going through an operator. 2, record 1, English, - basic%20telephone%20service

Le service dont tous les Canadiens devraient jouir. On entend par service téléphonique de base, le service téléphonique de résidence universel, qui est censé être fourni à la majorité des Canadiens. A l'heure actuelle, ses caractéristiques sont les suivantes : vous entendez une tonalité quand vous décrochez le récepteur; vous pouvez appeler un téléphoniste si vous en avez besoin; votre nom paraît dans l'annuaire; vous avez accès à un service de réparation; vous pouvez faire des appels locaux ou interurbains en composant le numéro directement vous-même plutôt qu'en passant par le téléphoniste. 2, record 1, French, - service%20t%C3%A9l%C3%A9phonique%20de%20base
