Tired of telemarketers? This service will let you block most incoming calls that do not come through with an identifiable name or number. These kinds of calls will be routed to an announcement that tells the caller that no calls will be accepted from sources who have chosen to prevent the display of their telephone numbers and names.

To use Anonymous Call Rejection:

1. Press to activate.
2. Press to deactivate.

Caller ID with Call waiting allows you to know the source of your waiting calls. As with other Caller ID services, the customer must have a type two terminal device or telephone for this feature to work.

To use Caller ID with Call Waiting:

1. Normal Call Waiting tones alert you to an incoming call
2. Your conversation will be interrupted for less than one second while Caller ID collects information on the incoming call.
3. Caller ID information appears on your display.
4. Use normal Call Waiting procedures to answer or disregard the code.

Blocking provides the customer with the ability to label his or her telephone number as private and thus restrict its delivery and availability to the called party.

Calling Number Delivery – Per Call Blocking

If you choose not to have your own number sent to someone with Caller ID, you can activate per call blocking at no charge by dialing on your touch-tone phone, or 1167 on a rotary phone, before you dial your call. Even if you have a non-published or unlisted number, you need to dial the blocking code before placing a call to prevent your number from being displayed.

Calling Number Delivery – Per Line Blocking

Customers in Georgia may receive per line blocking (at no charge) which prevents the calling name and number from being delivered to Caller ID customers. Therefore, some calling names and numbers may not be displayed on Caller ID units.

Important:

If you have per line blocking, you can temporarily un-block your line by dialing before making a call. Your name and /or number will then be displayed to people with Caller ID service on that one call.
