This feature allows the user to reject calls from persons who have chosen to keep their numbers private.
How To Use:
- Lift the handset and check for a dial tone.
- Press *77 (rotary users dial 1177).
- Press *87 (rotary users dial 1187) to turn the feature off.
An announcement will inform you if the feature is being activated or turned off.
A set of voice instructions will follow. Dialing 3 turns the feature ON (if it is currently turned off). Likewise, it will turn the feature OFF (if it is currently turned on).
This feature allows the subscriber to automatically redial the last outgoing call. The customer requests this service by dialing an access code, *66.
If the call to the last called number fails because the called party’s line is busy, and the called and calling numbers are owned by the same Switch, call setup is performed automatically as soon as the line becomes idle. The subscriber’s phone rings with a distinctive ring to identify the callback; when the subscriber picks up, the Switch then attempts to contact the called party.
If the called party’s line does not become idle within the set timeout period, or if it does become idle but call setup fails (for example if the subscriber’s line becomes busy again before the call can be set up), the attempt is abandoned. Dialing the access code again will reactivate the service and reset the timeout period.
How To Use:
- The standard access codes for the service are as follows:
- Press *66 to automaticsally callback the last outgoing call.
- Press *86 to cancel all outstanding attemps.
This feature allows the user to dial the number of the last call received.
How To Use:
- Lift the handset and listen for the dial tone.
- Press *69.
- The phone will prompt you with the phone number of the last incoming call. It will then give you a choice to press 1 if you want to call the number, if not, hang up.
How To Cancel:
- Press *89 to cancel all automatic callback requests.
- Listen for the confirmation.
This feature routes calls to a number specified by the user, the number can either be fixed or variable, and the choice needs to be done when the service is requested. If fixed, the number to be forwarded to needs to be programmed by the phone company.
How To Use:
- If the Fixed variant of UCF is configured:
- Dial *72 to enable UCF.
- Wait for a confirmation tone, UCF is now enabled.
- If the Variable variant of UCF is configured (analog or ISDN line):
- Dial *72 to enable UCF.
- Wait for a confirmation tone, then dial the number to forward to.
- Wait for the courtesy call to be answered, or for the confirmation tone if courtesy calls are not required. UCF is now enabled.
- To disable UCF, press *73.
How To Cancel:
- Lift the handset and listen for the dial tone.
- Press *73 (rotary users dial 1173).

Note: You will hear short rings on your phone as a call is being forwarded. You will not be able to answer these calls. You will, however, be able to make outgoing calls. If the forwarded number that you wish to use is a long distance number, you will be charged the long distance rate for each call that is forwarded and accepted.
This feature notifies a subscriber that a second call is on the line and allows the subscriber to switch between the calls.
The called party is notified by a tone when a call is waiting. The calling party continues to hear ringback until the called party answers the call.
How To Use:
- After Call Waiting is installed, there are no access codes for enabling or checking Call Waiting. The service is always enabled by default, and can only be disabled on a per-call basis using the Cancel Call Waiting Code, *70.
- While on a call, a small beep or distinct tone will alert you of another incoming call.
- Press the receiver hook or the flash button to answer the second call.

- To return to the original call, press the receiver hook or the flash button.

Note: This feature is on at all times and is available on all calls whether they are incoming or outgoing. This feature may interfere with modem use, but can be turned off temporarily as detailed above.
This feature allows the user to see the name and number of all incoming callers.
How To Use:
- When a call comes in, after the 2nd ring, the Caller ID unit receives the information.
- The incoming caller’s name and phone number will appear on the display screen.
- If you choose to accept the call, pick up the handset. If you choose not to accept the call, no action is necessary.
Note: Before using this feature, users must subscribe to Caller ID and purchase a Caller ID electronic device. When the letter “P” or the word “Private” appears on the screen, this indicates that the caller’s phone number has been blocked. When phrases like “unknown name,” “unknown number,” or “unavailable” appear on the screen, this is an indication that the incoming caller is in an area that does not support Caller ID services.
This feature prevents both unwanted calls (such as political campaigns, charities) as well as fraudulent calls (such as IRS scams).
