Manage calling features from the user portal

Anonymous Call Rejection allows you to block incoming calls that don’t provide caller ID. The caller will hear a busy tone. 

Barge In creats a three-way call by allowing you to barge in on a call in progress. The default setting for this feature is off. Find this feature under the Additional Features tab. 

Block My Caller ID for Forwarded Calls lets you block your identity when you receive a transferred or forwarded call. By default this feature is turned off, and should remain in the off position. Find this feature under the Additional Features tab.

Business Continuity allows you to conduct business if you’re unable to access the network due a natural disaster or power outage. Use this feature to direct incoming calls to any other phone.

Call Forwarding allows you to send calls to another phone. You can choose to forward all your calls when your line is busy or you are unable to answer calls. 

Call Notify sends you an email with the incoming call information.

Call Waiting allows you to receive and answer additional calls while you're on an active call. If it's turned off, new calls will be sent to voicemail.

Do Not Disturb sends calls directly to your voicemail until you turn it off.

Office Anywhere allows you to receive calls on another device, such as a cell phone.  You can also move calls between your handset and mobile phone.
