| Feature | Function | |
| Anonymous Caller Rejection | Allows you to reject calls for which calling name and calling number display information has been intentionally blocked. You do not need to be a subscriber to Calling Name and Number Delivery to have this feature | |
| Automatic Callback | This works like an enhanced redial button. If the line you're dialing is busy, Automatic Callback keeps trying the number for up to 30 minutes. Once both lines are idle, you'll hear a special ring. When you pick up the handset, the system rings the party you're wanting to reach. | |
| Automatic Recall | Lets you dial the last incoming call you received whether or not you answered the phone. When you activate Automatic Recall, the system tells you the directory number of the last incoming call and then gives you the choice of continuing the recall or ending the recall. If you recall and the line is busy, Automatic Recall keeps trying the number for up to 30 minutes. | |
| CallerID Blocking | Allows you to prevent your name or number from displaying on someone's phone. You perform on a per-call basis | |
| Calling Name/Number Delivery | Identifies the name and number of the calling party. After your phone rings once, the caller's name and number appears in you phone display. The date and time of the incoming call are also displayed. | |
| Customer Originated Trace | Lets you trace the origin of a harassing or obscene call. Information gathered from the trace is printed at the telephone company. You will need to ask the telephone company to release the information to the proper authorities | |
| Distinctive Ringing/Call Waiting | Allows you to program directory numbers that will be identified by a distinctive ring when they call you. If you also have Call Waiting and you're engaged in a phone conversation, receiving a call from someone on your distinctive list causes a distinctive call waiting tone | |
| Selective Call Acceptance | Stores directory numbers from which you will accept calls. An incoming call from a directory number not on your list will receive a message stating that you're not taking calls. | |
| Selective Call Forwarding | Ensures that specific calls reach you when you're away from home or the office | |
| Selective Call Rejection | Allows you to program a list of directory numbers that you want rejected or blocked when they call you. The rejected or blocked caller receives a message informing him/her that you're not taking calls. Your phone won't ring | |
| Teen Service | You can have two telephone numbers assigned to the same line. Each number has a distinctive ring, so you can assign a number solely to the children, fax machine, or home business | |
| Warm Line | Automatically dials a predesignated number 30 seconds after you take the phone off the hook. For regular calls, pick up the phone and dial any telephone number within 30 seconds | |
