Try any of these features FREE for one month, and pay no activation fee.

Customers must call to cancel if they decide not to keep the service. The regular price will apply the second month.

Anonymous Caller Rejection
Reject incoming callers who block their names and phone numbers. The caller receives a message that you do not take blocked calls.

Automatic Callback
Keep trying a busy line while you're doing other things. Your phone will continue to redial a busy number and tell you when that line is free.

Blocking
Stop your telephone number and name from appearing on Caller ID displays. This free feature is activated on all phone lines but requires you to press *67 each time you make a call.

Call Forwarding
Don't miss important calls. This feature transfers incoming calls to another number of your choice. This works for after-hours business calls at home or other calls you don't want to miss.

Call Waiting
Receive a tone that alerts you to an incoming call while you’re already on the line. Put the first party on hold while you answer the second call.

Customer Originated Trace
Track harassing callers through the phone company. This feature allows you to initiate a trace on the last incoming call. A printout of the originating telephone number will be forwarded to the local telephone office.

Distinctive Ringing
Designate important callers with a distinctive ring. You define the list of numbers getting special treatment with their own ring.

International Block
This free blocking feature prevents calls to international telephone numbers.

Line Blocking
Unlike the standard Blocking feature, you can automatically stop your telephone number and name from appearing on Caller ID displays every time you make a call.

900# block
This free blocking feature prevents calls to 1-900 telephone numbers.

Selective Call Forwarding
