Using Your Services
The Ponderosa CLASS
Services Advantage
As a Ponderosa customer, you may be interested to know
you enjoy a bit of a technological edge. For example,
with Ponderosa’s Custom Local Area Signaling Services
(CLASS) calling features, your services will work on calls
within the Ponderosa Service Network*, and with many
phone numbers outside our network that are on an SS7
supported network. Such as Fresno. Call 1-800-682-1878
for information, pricing and availability.
*Where network is available.
Which CLASS Services can
I choose from and what do they do?
Anonymous Call Rejection
If you have Caller ID, you know that some of the calls
you receive are labeled “Private.” With Anonymous Call
Rejection**, your phone will automatically reject all incoming
calls labeled “Private.” Callers receive a message which
says you don’t accept blocked telephone numbers and
suggests they remove Blocking and try again.
Call Return (*69)
It’s practically an unwritten law; the longer your phone rings,
the more likely it will stop ringing at the precise moment you
finally reach it. With Call Return, your phone instantly redials
the calls you just miss. Simply enter a code and your phone
automatically returns the call you last received!
Automatic Redial (*66)
When there’s a busy line you just can’t reach, let Automatic
Redial do the work for you. It automatically redials a busy
number for up to 30 minutes, then gives you a distinctive
ring to notify you when the line is free. Then just pick up the
phone and the call is automatically placed for you. It even
keeps working while you make other calls.
Priority Ringing
If you’re not a Caller ID subscriber, but you’d like to
have an idea who’s calling before you answer the phone,
Priority Ringing gives your phone a distinctive ring when
you’re called from any one of the specific numbers you’ve
preselected.
