2017 Digital Phone Updated

The instructions for using the following features have been modified. Please see the updated instructions below.

Automatic Call Back (*69) - This feature allows you to automatically redial the last incoming call to your phone line whether the call was answered or not. Note: Automatic Call Back may not function for cell phones or phone providers who do not allow this ability.

•  Dial *69

What Changed: The system no longer reads back the origination phone number from the last incoming call and does not ask if you want to return the call.

Repeat Dialing (*66) - This feature automatically continues to dial a busy number for you, for up to 30 minutes, and will alert you with a unique ring tone once the call is connected. Note: This feature may not function when calling a non-Express Phone Service customer.  

• Instead of ringing busy, the system will respond with “The line you are trying to call is busy.Press 1 to be alerted when the line is available”
• Once the called line is available, your phone will ring with a unique ring. Once you pick up the phone, you will hear a dial tone, and the party you are trying to reach will be automatically dialed.

• Dial *86 to cancel all scheduled callbacks.

What Changed: The customer no longer has to dial *66 to activate this feature.  It is triggered automatically when the destination phone would normally ring busy.  *66 allows the customer to manage the feature.
