This feature provides many of the advantages of additional lines, but at a fraction of the cost.

Allows you to prevent incoming calls from ringing in your home. Only callers who have your Personal Identification Number (PIN) can override the Do Not Disturb feature and ring your telephone. It prevents unwanted interruptions, particularly solicitation calls while still allowing important calls to come through. Selected callers (friends and relatives) can still reach you by dialing your PIN code. When Do Not Disturb feature is activated, callers will receive a busy signal or an announcement. At this time, callers who know your PIN may dial it and ring your telephone.

Stops harassing calls. Customer Originated Trace allows you to initiate an automatic trace of the last call you received. Your Telephone Company Annoyance Call Center will automatically receive a message containing the phone number where the obscene or abusive call originated (if within the local service area), plus the time and date of the call. It is necessary, however, to call the Annoyance Call Center before the end of the next business day and report the date and time of the call to be investigated.

Allows you to select another telephone number where calls are to be forwarded, and then limits the forwarded calls to just the numbers on your list.

Allows you to block calls from up to 10 numbers. You can either block selected numbers ahead of time or block repeat calls. In either case, the caller is rerouted to a recorded message and your phone does not ring.
