Included Calling Features
Your AT&T Digital Broadband includes the selected features described below.
Don’t Miss a Call: Call Waiting
A special tone signals you if there’s an incoming call
while you’re already on the phone. When you hear
the tone, briefly press and immediately release the
telephone switch hook (dial tone button) or flash
button. This will put the first call on hold while you
answer the second call. To return to the first call (and
to switch back and forth), simply press and release
the switch hook or flash button again.
To temporarily deactivate Call Waiting so that you
will not be interrupted by a Call Waiting signal
during a particular call, dial *70 from a touch-tone
phone and wait for a second dial tone before placing
your call. Call Waiting will automatically be
reactivated for new incoming calls when you hang up.
Always Know Who’s Calling:
Caller ID
Now you can see the name and phone number of
each incoming call automatically displayed on a
special unit. The unit also shows the date and time of
the call (if available) and is activated simply by
following the instructions that accompany the unit.
1
Note: Caller ID will not identify calls from pay
phones, some cellular phones, areas without
advanced switching capabilities, or if the calling
party blocks their number.
1. You must purchase the display unit through a telephone equipment supplier.
Call Waiting makes sure you don’t
miss a call when you’re already on
the phone.
Whether you have roommates, run
a business from home, or have
teenagers constantly receiving calls,
Caller ID lets you know who is
calling and when you’re away, Caller
ID will tell you what calls you missed
when you return.
