S.D. Admin. R. 20:10:08:07
In setting a deposit, a telecommunications company may consider the toll experience of an applicant to whom toll expenses have been reasonably traced but who has not been liable. In this case, the company may move from no deposit or the $130 deposit as set forth in § 20:10:08:06 to a charge that reasonably reflects two months' estimated billing calculated by the method described for the deposit for unsatisfactory credit in § 20:10:08:05. The telecommunications company shall inform the applicant of the option of receiving toll-restricted service in lieu of paying a deposit. If the applicant chooses toll-restricted service and pays bills for service for 12 consecutive months without having service disconnected for nonpayment and without receiving three or more disconnection notices, the company shall offer the applicant full service.
