How do I use speed calling?

To establish a Speed Calling list:

• End-user determines telephone numbers that they would like to associate with a Speed Calling code.
• End-user dials 74# from a touchtone or 1174 from a rotary phone.
• End-user assigns a Speed Calling Code to each number they want on the Speed Calling list:
  Codes 2 through 9
• End-user dials the Speed Calling code, followed immediately by the full telephone number they want associated with that code. (A tone confirms that the code number and the associated telephone number are recorded.)
• End-user will repeat above steps for each number they want to add or change/overlay on the Speed Calling list.

To Activate Speed Calling 8:

Touchtone

1. Dial Speed Calling Code plus #
2. Codes 2# through 9#

Rotary

1. Dial 11 and the one-digit speed calling code on a rotary phone
2. Dial Speed Calling Code.
3. Codes 112 through 119

How do I manage privacy?

Privacy Manger

When a call comes through as “anonymous”, “unavailable”, “out of area” or “private”, the caller will go through a series of self-identifying prompts before your phone even rings. The caller will hear:

“The person you are trying to reach does not accept unidentified calls. Your Caller ID was not received. To enter an access code, press 1. Or, to record your name so that we may announce your call, press 2.”

If the caller announces his or her name, your phone will ring and “Privacy Manager” appears on the Caller ID box. You will know that this is a screened call and will have four options to handle the call:

1. Accept the call
2. Reject the call: “The person you are calling is not available at this time. Please try again later.”
3. Send the call to voice mail or an answering device.
4. Send a solicitor’s rejection: “Attention! Phone solicitors – Please add this person’s name and telephone number to your Do Not Call list. The person you are calling does not accept phone solicitations.”

Callers with blocked numbers will be given the option to unblock their number for just this call, and the call will be connected.

You can provide frequent callers whose numbers are unidentified with an access code which will allow people who enter them to ring through to your phone without recording their name. Each access code must be ten digits long. We suggest using the area code and telephone number of the person who’ll be using it. This makes it easy for the caller to remember and easy for you to recognize.

Call Forwarding forwards your Privacy Manager options to your forwarding location regardless if forwarding location has Privacy Manager.

You can access your “Profile Manager” to establish language options, set up access codes, or change your Personal Identification Number (PIN) or switch the service on or off.

Note: If you use the Call Forward service we recommend you access the Profile Manager in order to turn Privacy Manager off during the time you have your phone call forwarded.

Access Profile Manager

Call 1-888-591-5191 for your area to establish language preferences, set up access codes for desired frequent callers to override Privacy Manager, change your PIN, or turn Privacy Manager on or off.
Your initial PIN will be the last four numbers of your telephone number.
Access codes are comprised of ten digits; and should be assigned to match the caller’s 10 digit home number for easy management of the list.
You are limited to 10 access codes, however you can use the same access code more than once.
