Caller ID
$6.50/month
Caller ID is a feature that displays the name and phone number of incoming callers, allowing you to see who’s calling before you pick up. It’s a simple, convenient way to manage your calls and avoid unwanted interruptions.
3 way calling
$1.25/month
Allows you to add a third party to a call already in progress.
Touch Tone
$1.25/month
This refers to the ability to use a keypad with buttons that emit specific tones when pressed. These tones are used for dialing and interacting with automated phone systems. The sound made by each key corresponds to a specific frequency, and these tones are recognized by the phone network to transmit the correct number. Touch-tone phones replaced older rotary dial phones, offering a faster and more efficient way to make calls.
Call Forward
$1.25/month
Allows incoming calls to be redirected to another phone number, such as a mobile phone, voicemail, or another landline.
Voice Mail
$1.25/month
A service that allows callers to leave recorded messages when the person is unavailable to answer the phone. The individual can later retrieve, listen to, and manage these messages at their convenience.
Referral Messages
$1.25/month
Referral messages are notifications or instructions given to callers when the person they are trying to reach is unavailable, often directing them to contact someone else or leave a message. These messages are typically heard during voicemail prompts or call forwarding. Good for 3 months.
Speed Dial Long (30 #’s)
$3.50/month
Speed dial long allows users to store up to 30 phone numbers in their phone’s memory, enabling them to dial these numbers quickly by pressing just a few buttons. It simplifies calling frequently dialed contacts without needing to manually enter the full phone number each time.
Speed Dial Short (8 #’s)
$1.25/month
Speed dial short allows users to store up to 8 phone numbers in their phone’s memory, enabling quick dialing by pressing just a couple of buttons. This feature makes it easier to reach frequently dialed contacts without needing to manually enter their full phone number.
Teen Line with Distinctive Ring
$10/month
A teen line is a single phone line that is connected to two separate phone numbers, each with a unique ring. This allows the user to differentiate between calls made to each number, even though both are routed through the same line.
Tone Denial
$1.25/month
Toll denial is a service that blocks a phone from being able to place long-distance calls, preventing charges for calls made outside of a local area. This feature is often used to control costs or limit access to expensive phone services.
