And compare any of these numbers you found on line to numbers that were
published in past telephone directors, and you'll find that they've changed.
Also, try to find the correct phone numbers in ordinary on-line telephone
directories as opposed to only the post office's Web site.
You can get these phone numbers from 800 ASK-USPS too but only after
going through several menu layers.

Hello,
I looked for a clear explanation of E1 alarms such as LOS, LOF, AIS &
RAI on the Web but could not come up with anything detailed enough.
Could anyone clearly explain me these 4 alarms? What they mean and
when they are sent?
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Raph
