Home Phone Calling Features

Set up your home phone, cell, and business phone to ring simultaneously for incoming calls. The first line to answer takes the call either live or by voicemail.

Set up several numbers to ring in a predetermined order. If you do not answer at the first number, the call will go on to ring the next number in the list. Unanswered calls can be routed to your voice mail service.

If you are not available to answer the phone or busy on another call, then call answer is for you. It is an answering service that works on your existing touch tone telephone taking messages, which you can retrieve, from home or away from home.

Residential customers can retain up to 30 new or saved messages for a maximum of 10 days.

Know who is calling before you say hello. Call Name & Number Display Service lets you see the name and telephone number of the person calling on the caller ID screen before you answer so you can choose which calls to answer.

Eliminate the guesswork with this new service and a compatible display phone. Visual Call Waiting gives you the name and number of the person who's calling even when you are on the phone. It's a great combination of Call Waiting and Call Display services.

An additional phone number is assigned to your telephone line. Keep the main number for Mom & Dad and the second number for the kids. Or program your fax machine to pick up the second number. The telephone rings differently for each number so you know whom the call is for before it is answered.

Busy Call Return *66 ends the frustration of reaching a busy signal by monitoring a busy line for up to 30 minutes and then alerting you with a special ring when the line is free. Last call return *69 returns the last call you received, whether or not you answered it.

Transfer a call to another number quick and easy without the caller ever having to hang up. This works great too if you have a fax machine on another number yet someone mistakenly faxes you to your voice line, just transfer the call to your fax line.

You can program your phone to reject calls from any number [up to 10 #s] you place in the rejection list. When your service is turned "on", any callers in this list will hear an announcement that you are not accepting calls at this time. All other calls will ring through as usual.

With this feature on your line you are able to control all long distance calls being made. A PINN code is required before a long distance call can be made directly from your telephone.

While talking on the phone, call waiting alerts you to another incoming call. You can put your current caller on hold, take the second call, and even toggle from one call to another. *minimum $2.00 charge applies.

Program your phone to forward all your calls to any one number at a time, for example your cell phone. *Minimum $2.00 charge applies.
