  • Auto-attendant: A recording asks the caller to enter a feature code or telephone line belonging to the customer, and forwards the call to the destination entered.
  • Auto attendant (no announcement): Waits for the caller to enter a feature code or telephone line belonging to the customer, and forwards the call to the destination entered. No announcement is played.
  • *Busy Tone: Play Busy Tone to the caller until they hang up
  • Calling card login: A recording asks the caller to enter a valid calling card number, then a destination to call. The card used may be any card belonging to any customer on the system.
  • Cancel call forwarding: If called from a telephone line, cancels the “Forward all calls to” setting for that telephone.
  • Conference login: Asks caller for a conference code and PIN. If correct, puts caller in that conference with whatever access their PIN allows.
  • *Dial by name: Plays the dial by name menu.
  • Do not Disturb toggle: You can set up a feature code to toggle between “do not disturb” and allowing the call to go through. If the feature code is called from a telephone or external destination for a hunt group or queue, it toggles “do not disturb” for that telephone or external destination. When the toggle is in the “do not disturb” state, the call will be transferred to (where?) if it is defined.
  • Do not disturb toggle (no answer): Acts in the same way as “Do not disturb toggle”, except that it does not answer the call. Instead, the call keeps ringing.
  • Echo test: Answers the call and plays back whatever the caller says to them.

  • *Mailbox: Directs call to a specified mailbox to leave a message.
    Music: Answers the call, and then plays Music file until the caller hangs up.
  • *Number: Directs call to a specified number. Usually a 10-digit number

  • Redirect message to number: Plays a message advising the caller to hang up and dial a different number.
  • Remote access menu: Asks caller to enter details of a remote access account, then a destination to call.
