Call Forwarding Busy This service forwards incoming calls to an alternative number only when the subscriber s line is busy. To enable, dial *90, then enter the number you want to forward to and then press #. To disable, dial *91 Automatic Callback - This service allows the subscriber to automatically redial the last outgoing call. To automatically callback the last outgoing call, press *66 To cancel all outstanding callback attempts, press *8 Anonymous Call Rejection - This service automatically rejects all calls for which the caller has withheld the calling number. This may be because the caller's line is configured never to send the calling number, or because the caller has dialed an access code to block the number before making the call. ACR does not reject calls for which the calling number is unavailable because it has not been provided by the network (for example on overseas calls). To enable, dial *77 To disable, dial *87 Speed Dial 8 - This service, also known as speed dialing, allows one-digit codes to be used as shortcuts for selected phone numbers. The subscriber enters the code and this is interpreted as if he or she had dialed the phone number to which the code maps. Speed Calling codes have a one-digit range. The defaults are 2-9. To use speed calling, dial the speed calling code and then either dial # or wait four seconds. To configure one-digit speed dialing, press *74. Enter the one-digit speed calling code (2-9), followed immediately by the number to which the code maps and #. A confirm tone is played, then after a second of silence, either the reorder tone or dial tone is played. To remove a speed calling code that you no longer need, you can either delete it using CommPortal, or use the handset to map it to a new phone number. DND - Do Not Disturb - This service allows the subscriber to block his or her line temporarily to prevent incoming calls. Outgoing calls can still be made as normal, but incoming calls are not connected; instead, the caller hears an announcement that the subscriber is not currently accepting calls. 4
