Calling Feature Details

Common Calling Features
Voice Mail	Check your messages - from any telephone, anywhere, at any time, - then save or erase them with the touch of a button.  NU-Telecom Voice Mail offers some distinct advantages over an answering machine:      * No machines to install or repair; no tapes or batteries to replace      * Callers can leave messages when you're on the phone or using the Internet         - not just when you're away from the phone.      * No lost messages      * Completely private - only you can hear the messages
Caller ID	Identify who is calling without answering.  Caller ID helps you avoid annoying, unwanted calls or decide whether or not to take a particular call at that time.  To utilize Caller ID, you will need a display phone or display add-on unit for your existing phone.  (Available in NU-Telecom retail stores)
Call Waiting	While you're on the phone, call waiting notifies you when another caller is trying to reach you.  If you choose to take the incoming call, you can place your first call on hold while you take the new one.
Call Forwarding	Forward calls to another location when you're away from home.
Speed Call 8 or 30	For frequently dialed local or long distance calls, you can program the numbers to dial automatically when you enter just a one or two digit code.  Options are available for programming up to 8 or 30 numbers.
3-Way Calling	Link people from three different locations on to one call so you can all talk together.
Custom Ring Service	If you have more than one phone line or two numbers that ring to the same line, each number will ring differently so you'll know what type of call is coming in.
Automatic Callback	This feature will automatically redial a busy number for up to 30 minutes.
Email Notification	Receive an email notification in your inbox each time you receive a new voicemail message.  This email notification gives you the option to save, delete, or forward the message to someone else directly from your email inbox.
Inside Wire Maintenance	This feature helps protect you from additional maintenance charges when a tech needs to visit your home to fix problems you are having with your service.
Other Calling Features Available from NU-Telecom
Call Number Delivery Block	Dial a code before you place a call and you can block the call from showing your telephone number to the party you are calling.
Call Tracing	This feature helps to identify harassing or suspicious callers.
Per Line Blocking	Prevent your telephone number from being displayed for all calls made from your line.
Selective Call Acceptance	To limit unnecessary interruptions, program your phone to only accept calls from certain people.  Other callers will hear a message suggesting they call back later.
Selective Call Rejection	Dial a special code and your phone will reject local calls you place on your rejection list.
Selective Call Forwarding	Forward calls from selected callers to another location when you're away from home.
Distinctive Ringing	If you want to identify certain calls as special or important, distinctive ringing "announces" those calls with a special ring.
