How to use Continuous Redial

Instead of manually hitting redial to reach a busy number, let your phone do the work for you.

Next time you get a busy signal, do the following: 

1. Hang up the phone.
2. Lift the receiver and listen for the dial tone.
3. Press *66.
4. Hang up the phone.

When the line's no longer busy, you'll hear a distinctive (short-short-long) ring. You can:

• Ignore the ring, or
• Pick up the phone to connect the call

If you no longer need to reach the number, pick up the receiver and press *86.

This calling feature keeps redialing the number every 60 seconds for up to 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, if the line is still busy, a recorded announcement tells you to hang up and try again later.

• You can activate this feature on up to 15 numbers at one time.
  
  
• Continuous Redial works with most local, and some long distance numbers, but it cannot be used with wireless numbers.
  
  
• You can continue to place and receive calls while this service is active.
  
  
• When the line is no longer busy, Continuous Redial will try three times within 30 minutes to notify you that the line is available and you can place your call.
  
  
• When you activate Continuous Redial, you will hear this message: "The number called is busy. A special ringing will tell you when the line is free. Please hang up now."
   
• If you cancel Continuous Redial, you will hear this message: "You have canceled your request. Please hang up now."
  
  
• Continuous Redial is available in most areas — it's sometimes called Busy Redial or simply *66.
   
• Depending on your location, Continuouse Redial can be added to your Price for Life bundle or used as a pay-per-use feature.
