Your phone will ring and when you answer it, you will be connected with the remaining caller. Each of your conversations is private and will not be heard by the other caller. To alternate between calls, depress the switchhook for about one second. Your first call will be placed on hold, and you will be connected with the new caller. If you are using a cordless phone, press the talk or flash button. To answer the second call, depress the switchhook (the button to pick up or hang up the phone) for about one second. Neither caller will hear this beep, and your new caller will hear a normal ringtone. While you are on the phone, a beep will alert you to another call on the line. A special tone alerts you to an incoming call, and you have the option to place your current call on hold to answer the new call. Listen for two beeps, then hang up.Īnswer all your incoming calls, even when you're already on the line. Call forwarding is activated when someone answers at the forwarded number. Then, dial the number to which your calls should be forwarded.

To activate call forwarding, dial *72 and wait for the special tone. You can still make outgoing calls even when call forwarding is in effect. Your home phone will ring once as a reminder that the call is being redirected. Redirect calls to another telephone number (such as a cell phone) when you're unavailable. If you have any questions about the feature codes, please call Socket Technical Support at 1-80. In this case try dialing 1-1 in place of the star. Some phones (such as rotary dial phones) are not compatible with dialing the star (*) key. Click on the feature for an explanation and complete instructions. Below is a list of feature or "star" codes to conveniently use with your telephone service.
