Payphone Enforcement
Pursuant to a settlement agreement approved by the CPUC in Decision (D.) 90-06-018, the Payphone Service Providers Enforcement (PSPE) program was established to protect consumers. CPUC phone inspectors inspect payphones to ensure they: have adequate signage and proper disclosure for credit card calls; provide access to 911 and other safety and directory assistance numbers; and, are free from physical safety conditions such as broken glass or protruding wires.
To report a pay telephone that is not in compliance with consumer safeguards adopted by the Commission, please contact PSP Enforcement at:
