SELECTIVE CALL FORWARD
(PREFERRED CALL FORWARD)

 

Decide which callers should be forwarded to another number: program your phone to forward only calls from a list of numbers you create. All others will ring at your phone as usual.

TO ACTIVATE SELECTIVE CALL FORWARD

  1. Lift the handset and listen for the dial tone.
  2. Press *63 (On a rotary phone, dial 1163).
  3. Listen for an announcement telling you whether the feature is currently stored in your forward list.
  4. Follow the voice instructions and dial 3 to turn the feature ON (if it is currently off), or turn the feature OFF (if it is currently on).


TO ADD THE LAST CALLER TO YOUR FORWARD LIST

  1. Press #01# (On a rotary phone, dial 1201).


TO ENTER YOUR “FORWARD TO” NUMBER

  1. The first time you turn on the service, you’ll be asked to enter the number you’d like your special calls forwarded to. From then on, the system will simply remind you of the current “forward to” number.
  2. If the current number is correct, dial 1.
  3. If you wish to change the current “forward to” number, dial 0 and follow the voice instructions.
  4. To hear the phone numbers on your list, Dial 1. After the list is read, voice instructions will follow. You can store up to 31 phone numbers on your forward list.


TO REMOVE A NUMBER FROM YOUR LIST

  1. Press * (On a rotary phone, dial 11).
  2. Follow the voice instructions.


TO HEAR INSTRUCTIONS AGAIN

  1. Dial 0.


Note:
You may press 1, 0, or * at any time rather than waiting for the voice instructions. The list you create here is separate from any other lists you may be using for Distinctive Ringing (Call Waiting), Selective Call Acceptance, Selective Call Rejection, and similar services. This service can work with Call Forward All Calls. Numbers on your preferred list will follow you to your Selective Call Forward number. All other calls will be routed to your Call Forward All Calls number. If applicable, toll charges will be billed to the feature subscriber’s number.
