Custom Calling Services

Automatic Recall Automatic Recall dials the last number that called the subscriber, whether the subscriber answered the call or not, and keeps dialing the number for up to 30 minutes if it is busy. A spe- cial ring alerts the subscriber when the called number is available. Call Number Delivery (Caller ID) Call Number Delivery allows the subscriber to view the telephone number of the calling party before answering the telephone. A number will appear on a special display unit after the first ring. A Caller ID Unit can store from 1 to 100 numbers so that calls can be returned at a more convenient time. In some cases, the number may be blocked because the originating caller has elected to block his or her number from being delivered, or the serving office is not equipped to pass the number, or the call is from out of state.

Equipment Information How to connect or disconnect your phones: To install your phone, match to plug at the end of the cord with the jack, and insert. To disconnect your phone, squeeze the clip on the plug and pull it out of the jack. A special converter can be pro- vided to permanently change the non-standard jacks into modular out- lets to use with your modular cord. Plug the converter into the jacks, then plug the cord into the converter. To connect your wall phone, match the holes in the back of the phone with the rivets and the wall mount- ing. Push the phone lightly against the mounting and slide it down into place. To disconnect, slide the phone up to lift it off the rivets, then pull it away from the wall. If your house or apartment has “hard-wired” telephone outlets, you may be able to save time and money on installation by changing them to mod- ular “plug-in” outlets yourself with a modular jack converter. Modular outlets let you plug in or move your own tele- phones. For more information, call your Telephone Company Business Office.
