CALL FORWARD ALL CALLS

 

Program your telephone line so your calls ring at another number. Each time a call is forwarded, your phone will make one short ring. It can still be used to make outgoing calls.

Dial the number exactly as if you are calling directly. For a local number, dial the 7-digit number. For a long distance number, dial “1” plus the area code. Or if you have speed calling, you may dial one of your codes. If applicable, toll charges will be billed to the feature subscriber’s number.

TO ACTIVATE CALL FORWARD ALL CALLS

  1. Lift the handset and listen for the dial tone.
  2. Press *72 (On a rotary phone, dial 1172).
  3. Listen for the dial tone.
  4. Dial the number where you want your calls forwarded.
  5. When the phone is answered, your Call Forward is in effect. If the line is busy, or there is no answer, hang up.
  6. Within two minutes, repeat the steps above. You’ll hear a confirmation tone to let you know your Call Forward is now working.


TO CANCEL CALL FORWARD ALL CALLS

  1. Lift the handset and listen for the dial tone on the line that is forwarded.
  2. Press *73 (On a rotary phone, dial 1173).
