Automatic Call Back

How it Works:

You can save time dialing busy numbers over and over. Your phone rings as soon as the line is free. Cost of Automatic Call Back is $2.50 per month.

How to use:

1. When you hear a busy signal, press and release the "switchhook." Listen for a special tone.
2. If you have hung up, lift the handset and listen for a normal dial tone.
3. Press *66. (On a rotary phone, dial 1166.)
4. If the line is still busy, hang up. Your phone will check the number for up to 30 minutes.
5. A special call back ring alerts you if the line becomes free. (Some phones ring normally.)
6. Lift the handset to automatically place the call.

To cancel the Call Back Request:

1. Lift the handset and listen for a normal dial tone.
2. Press *86. (On a rotary phone, dial 1186.)
3. Listen for the confirmation tone or announcement. Hang up.

Note:

• To start the 30-minute clock, repeat steps 1-4 under "How to use."
• Automatic Call Back can check as many as 5 busy lines at once.
• Does not work on 800, 888, 877 numbers, 900 numbers, or where Call Forward and some other call services have been activated.
• The "switchhook" is the button the handset pushes down when you hang up. Some telephones have a Link or Flash key you can press.
