Enhanced Calling Features - Automatic Recall

How to use:

  1. Lift the handset and listen for a normal dial tone.
  2. If you were already on the phone and ignored a call waiting tone, press and quickly release the "switchhook."
  3. Press *69.  (On a rotary phone dial phone, dial 1169.)  Your call will go through like a normal call.

If the line is busy:

  1. Hang up.  Your phone will keep trying the line for up to 30 minutes.
  2. A special callback rings alerts you if the line becomes free.  (Some phones ring normally.)
  3. Lift the handset to automatically place the call.

To cancel your Automatic Recall request:

  1. Press *89.  (On a rotary phone dial 1189.)
  2. Listen for the confirmation tone or announcement. Hang up.

Note: The "switchhook" is the button the handset pushes down when you hang up the phone. Some telephones have a Link or Flash key you can press instead.

In some areas, after you dial *69, a recorded voice will give you the phone number of the call you missed and ask if you want to use the Automatic Recall feature.  Just follow the voice instructions.

Does not work on 800 numbers, 900 numbers, outside the specified service area, or lines where Call Forward and some other call services have been activated.
