Priority Ring/Priority Call

Avoid missing another important call with Priority Ring/Priority Call. You can now program up to 12 (10 in some markets) telephone numbers with a special ring, enabling you to distinguish certain incoming calls from all others. If you have Call Waiting, you will hear a special tone when one of your chosen callers is trying to reach you while you are on another call.

Note:

  • You may press 1 0 # or at any time rather than waiting for the voice instructions.
