Selective Call Acceptance

<< Back to Calling Features Instructions

How it works:

You can program your phone to accept only those calls from a special list of people. When your service is "turned on," your phone will accept only calls from those on your Selective Call Acceptance list. All others will hear an announcement that you are not accepting calls at this time. Cost of Selective Call Acceptance is $2.50 per month.

How to use:

1. Lift the handset and listen for dial tone.
2. Press *64. (On a rotary phone, dial 1164.)
3. Listen for an announcement telling you whether the feature is currently on or off. The recorded voice will tell you how many (if any) numbers are currently stored on your acceptance list.
4. Follow the voice instructions and dial or press 3 to turn the feature ON (if it is currently off), or turn the feature OFF (if it is currently on).

To add last caller to acceptance list:

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

To hear phone numbers on your list:

1. Dial or press 1.
2. After the list is read, voice instructions will follow.

To add a number to your list:

1. Press #. (On a rotary phone dial 12.)
2. Follow the voice instructions. You can store up to 5 phone numbers on your list.

To remove a number from your list:

1. Press *. (On a rotary phone, dial 11.)
2. Follow the instructions to remove any or all numbers.

To hear instructions again:

1. Dial or press 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 Forwarding, Selective Call Rejection, and similar services.
