Selective Ring / Call Waiting

Know who the call is for - as soon as it rings!

  How it Works
 

Designate important callers with a distinctive ring. You define the list of numbers getting special treatment with their own ring. Designate up to 32 numbers.

  To Use

1.

   When someone dials your main Telephone number, you will hear normal ringing (one long ring).

2.

   When someone dials any of the other Telephone numbers, you will hear a special ring that identifies that number (such as two short rings).

3.

  Wait until the full ring pattern is complete before answering. You will know whether the call is for you - and how you should greet the caller.

  If you also have Call Waiting

1.

   If someone dials your main number while you are on the phone, you will hear a normal Call Waiting tone.

2.

   If someone dials one of the other numbers, you will hear a special Call Waiting tone that identifies that particular number (such as two short tones).

Note

Only one conversation can be held at a time. Although you have more than one Telephone number, you still have just one line.
