When you are on the phone, all incoming calls will be forwarded to your specified number. The specified number can be another number in your home, a cell phone or a number at a different location. 

You can program your phone to forward all unanswered calls to another number. The other number can be a cell phone, another number in your home, or a number at a different location. 

You can program your phone to forward only those calls from a special list of numbers to another number such as your cell phone. When your service is turned "on" calls from numbers in your "forward-to" list will be re-routed to your "forward-to" number. All others will ring at your phone, as usual. 

When you receive a call, the name and number of the person calling you is shown on your Caller ID display screen. A Caller ID Box or Caller ID phone is needed for this feature.

When you’ve turned this service "on" any callers who have blocked their number from your Caller ID display will hear an announcement that you do not accept anonymous calls and that they should remove blocking and call back. All other calls will ring through as usual. 

When you receive a harassing call, you can dial a simple code to trace the source of that call. The information about that call is recorded in the telephone company’s equipment. You will not be given the name or telephone number of the person who called.

At your request, trace information will be forwarded to local law enforcement for further action after the necessary forms have been signed. 

Call Waiting lets you answer another call even when you’re already on the phone. If you’re talking on the phone and someone else tries to call you, local or long distance, you hear a quick "beep" tone. Your second caller will hear only a normal ringing signal.

Call Waiting can be canceled on a per call basis, either before initiating a call or during an existing call. Cancel Call Waiting remains in effect only for that call. Once you hang up, or depress the "switchhook", Call Waiting is automatically restored. Any parties calling will receive a busy signal when Cancel Call Waiting is in effect. Note: You must have Three-Way Calling to Cancel Call Waiting during a call. 

This feature allows you to see who is calling while you are on another call. The name and number are displayed on customer provided equipment. Non-published and non-listed telephone numbers will not display.

You can save time dialing busy numbers over and over. Your phone can keep dialing a number while you go about your business, eliminating wasted time and aggravation. As soon as the line is free, your phone rings you and the call is automatically placed for you.

By dialing a special code before you place a call, you can prevent your phone number and name from appearing on the Caller ID display of the person receiving your call.

When you request* Per-Line Blocking, you do not need to dial a code to block your name and number each time you place a call. Your number will automatically appear as "Private".
