    Use Caller ID Feature

  1. Step 1

    Keep a track of received calls by activating the Caller ID feature. Prepare a list of call rejections or selective call acceptance. You can create this list on the Call Blocking feature page of your online account provided by Net2phone.

    Activate anonymous call rejection by dialing *77 and *87 to deactivate. Every time you dial these codes, make sure to hang up the phone after dialing.

  5. Use Call Forwarding Feature

  6. Step 1

    Learn how to use call forwarding before activating it. You can use this feature in three ways:

    - all calls, which can be directly sent to your voicemail box

    - busy signal, when all calls receive a busy signal tone

  11. Use Reach Me Feature

  12. Step 1

    Dial *69 by picking up the phone to dial the last received number. This is the Call Return feature. You will be able to hear the phone number before it is dialed. Dial *89 to deactivate the call return feature.

  21. Step 2

    Learn how to use Call Waiting feature. The moment you hear the incoming call tone, press the flash button on your phone. Your first line will be put to hold and you will be connected to the incoming caller. You can choose to stay connected or switch between the two lines by pressing the flash button. None of the calls will be terminated until either party hangs up the phone. If you hang up, you terminate both the calls.

  22. Step 3

    Learn how to use the Do Not Disturb feature. It allows you to relax in hours when you would not like to pick up your VoiceLine phone. Dial *98 and press 1 to enable Do Not Disturb. You will hear a confirmation. To disable it, dial *98 and press 2. Hang up upon hearing the confirmation.

  24. Step 5

    Learn how to use the service feature of “Account Balance Announcement” This feature keeps you informed on your balance minutes in case you have not opted for an unlimited plan. Dial *02 to hear your balance before making every call (*03 to disable). To hear it once before making a call Dial *04 (*05 to disable).

  25. Step 6

    Set the language of your choice for hearing instructions and directing the callers. To set the language preferences pick up the phone and dial *94.
