That was for Southeastern Telephone, too. We had Southeastern while we lived in Tallahassee, Florida for a year while mother finished her master's degree at FSU. They used 113 for information and 118 was for time and temperature as well.
I used to dial some of the other codes. Used to get some Southeastern people, who got annoyed when kids would dial those other codes. One of them could be used to make someone else's phone ring without you being on the line when they answered.
It think 110 was for long distance. Then you had a 'circle digit' (ours was '1' as I remembered). But I think that if you dialed the wrong 'circle digit', someone else would be billed for the call. I never tried it, though.

In Columbia, Mo., GTE/General territory since the late 1950s, the codes were:
112 for Long Distance access 113 for directory information 114 for repair service 115 for mobile operator 118 for time and temperature 119 for party-line ringback 112 was replaced with "1" around 1971. However, "0" access (assisted long distance) was not available until 1986. 118 was replaced with 655 in the mid-1970s. 655 in turn was replaced by 449-0655 (that's GIbson 9-0655) around 1986.Columbia had *both* operating in parallel from 1971 to 1986 (in different switching offices), when GTE brought in some Nortel switches (would they have been DMS-100s by then?) and swept the old mess out. No more progress tone just to call across town!
