Selective Call Acceptance
You decide which calls to take and when
You’ve just sat down to a family dinner when the phone rings. Is it a call from
someone you are expecting or an unwanted sales pitch? With Selective Call
Acceptance, you program in the phone numbers of callers you would want to
speak with.
How To Use Selective Call Acceptance
1. Pick up the handset and listen for the dial tone.
2. Press
*
62. (On a rotary phone, dial 1162.) A recording will tell you if the
service is off or on and then give the following options:
• Dial 0 for instructions.
• Dial # to add an entry.
• Dial
*
to delete an entry.
• Dial 1 to hear the entries on the list.
• Dial 3 to turn the service off or on.
When Someone Calls
• When your service is turned ON, you’ll receive calls only from those on
your acceptance list. Callers who are not on your list will simply hear an
announcement that you are not accepting calls at this time.
You may press 1, 0, #, or
*
at any time rather than wait for voice instructions.
The list you create here is separate from any other lists you may be using for
Selective Call Forwarding, Selective Call Rejection, Distinctive Ringing/Call
Waiting and similar services.
