Call Control Features

Selective Call Acceptance

Selective Call Acceptance allows you to program your phone to accept only those calls from a special list of people. When this service is turned on, your phone will only accept calls from those in your selective call acceptance list. All other calls will hear an announcement that you're not accepting calls at this time. This service can be easily turned on or off.

Selective Call Forwarding

Selective Call Forwarding allows you to forward only those calls from a special list of numbers to an alternate number; for example, from your home number to your cellular phone number. When your service is turned on, calls from numbers in your forward list will be "re-routed" to your "forward to" number. All others will ring at your phone as usual. This service can be easily turned on or off.

Selective Call Rejection

Selective Call Rejection allows you to program your phone to reject calls from any number you place in your rejection list. When the service is turned on, any callers on this list will hear an announcement that you're not accepting calls at this time. All other calls will ring as usual. This feature can easily be turned on or off.

Telemarketer Call Screening

Telemarketer Call Screening allows you to screen "unidentified" calls for unwanted solicitors. Any "unknown numbers" will receive a message saying that the called party does not accept telemarketing calls. The caller is then given the opportunity to put their call through if they are not a telemarketer.

Automatic Recall

Automatic Recall allows you to find out the telephone number of the last person who called, and gives you the option to return the call.

Warm Line

Warm Line allows a pre-designated number to be automatically dialed 30 seconds after you lift the handset. To prevent automatic dialing, simply begin dialing within 30 seconds of picking up the handset.

1+ Restriction

1+ Restriction allows you to block any long distance calls from going through your home telephone without entering a 4-digit PIN code. Before a long distance call can be completed, the 4-digit code must be entered.

1+ Bulk Restriction

1+ Bulk Restriction allows you to block any long distance calls from going through your home telephone without entering a 4-digit PIN code, except for numbers you choose to allow. For example, you don't want your children to be able to call long distance randomly, but you want them to be able to call a long distance relative. You choose which numbers to allow without the use of the 4-digit PIN code. All other long-distance calls will require the PIN code before going through.
