OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES:

CALL RETURN
  • Allows you to redial the last number that tried to call you, whether or not the call was answered. To activate Call Return, pick up your receiver for a dial tone and dial *69 on a push-button phone or 1169 on a rotary phone. This will automatically redial the last call received. If the redialed number is busy, a recording will tell you that the last number that you called is busy and you will be notified by a special ringing when the line is free. You will hang up and wait for the call to be completed.
CALL TRACING
  • Allows you to trace a harassing caller. Upon receiving a nuisance call, hang up your phone. Pick up your receiver for a dial tone and dial *57 on a push-button phone or 1157 on a rotary phone. This code will activate the trace and the customer will call the Sheriff's Office to request the trace be followed up. There will be an $11.00 service charge for each time you activate the trace.
CALLER ID
  • Allows you to identify the caller’s name and telephone number. A display unit, which may be either leased or purchased, is necessary to receive Caller ID. (FCC mandates Latelco to provide Number Blocking options. The telephone number will not appear on Caller ID for those customers who select this blocking option.)
REPEAT DIALING
  • Allows your phone to let you know with a special ring when the last called line is busy becomes free. It will also redial the number for you. When the number you dial is busy, hang up your telephone. Pick up the receiver for a dial tone and dial *66 on a push-button phone or 1166 on a rotary phone to activate the Repeat Dialing feature. You will reach a recording that will tell you the line is busy and you will be notified by a special ring when the line is free. When the line becomes free you will receive a special ring and once you pick up your telephone receiver the busy number you dialed will be automatically redialed. The queuing process begins when you activate the Repeat Dialing code and will periodically check both lines for availability to complete the call for the next 30 minutes.
CALL WAITING
  • While talking on a call, a tone will indicate a second call is waiting. By depressing the switchhook for 1/2 second, the original call is automatically placed on hold and connection is made to the second caller. This procedure may be repeated and you may alternately talk on both calls until one has been terminated. If you subscribe to the Cancel Call Waiting option dial 70 for a dial tone and the number you desire to call. If you subscribe to any of the custom calling II features you must dial *70 for a dial tone and the number you desire to call. Deactivation will occur after each completed call.
THREE-WAY CALLING
  • An existing call may be put on hold by depressing the switchhook 1/2 second and a dial tone will be received. At this time a second telephone number may be dialed. When the second call has been established, a 1/2 second depression of the switchhook will automatically connect all three telephones together. Two toll points may be connected on a Three-Way call. Normal transmission can not be assured on all calls.
 
CALL FORWARDING
  • To transfer incoming calls to another telephone dial *72 on a push-button phone or 1172 on a rotary phone. When a second dial tone is heard, dial the telephone number to which calls are to be transferred. An acknowledgment tone will indicate that the transfer procedure has been established. While in the transfer mode, the originating telephone will receive only one ring when a call is received and will be able to intercept the call only if picked up during that one ring. To deactivate call forwarding, dial *73 on a push-button phone or dial 1173 on a rotary phone and wait for an acknowledgement tone. If you subscribe to the Call Forwarding/No Answer option, dial *64 to activate call forwarding and *65 to deactivate the feature. If you subscribe to the Call Forwarding/Busy option, dial *81 to activate this option and *91 to deactivate.
CALL BLOCK
  • Allows you to reject calls from up to eight different numbers. You may also block the number that last called you even if you do not know the number. To activate Call Block, pick up your receiver for a dial tone *60 on a push-button phone or 1160 on a rotary phone. Listen for detailed recorded instructions to follow.
PREFERRED CALL FORWARDING
  • Allows you to select and forward up to eight specific numbers. To activate Preferred Call Forwarding, pick up your receiver for a dial tone and dial *63 on a push-button phone or 1163 on a rotary phone. Listen for detailed recorded instructions to follow. (Note that calls can be forwarded to a number in the local calling area only.)
CALL SELECTOR
  • Allows you to assign a distinctive ring or Call Waiting tone from up to eight special numbers. To activate Call Selector, pick up your receiver for a dial tone and dial *61 on a push-button phone or dial 1161 on a rotary phone. Listen for detailed instructions to follow. (Must subscribe to Call Waiting to receive distinctive Call Waiting tone.)
SPEED DIALING
  • This feature has a 30 number capacity for calling a local or long distance call by dialing only two digits. The number memory is coded from number 20 through 49. To store frequently called telephone numbers, dial *75 and wait for a dial tone. Dial any one of the two-digit codes and the telephone number to be assigned to that particular code. A confirmation tone will indicate when the dialed telephone number has been stored. Telephone numbers in memory may be changed by entering the new telephone number to be stored in the two digit memory slot. Any stored telephone number may be automatically dialed by dialing the associated two-digit code.
