Today’s telecommunications technology is offering
consumers more choices than ever before in telephone
equipment and services. One new group of services becoming
popular among telephone users is Custom Calling Features,
which are available from your local telephone company in areas
served by digital central offices.
A few years ago, you missed your phone calls if you were away
from your home or business—unless you were hooked into an
answering service or machine. Today, with Custom Calling
Features, you can have your phone calls follow you wherever you
This feature, termed Call Forwarding, will allow you to transfer
your incoming calls to another number of your choice. For
example, if you’re expecting an important phone call at home but
need to go to your neighbor’s house, you can forward your calls
to your neighbor’s phone. You can still make outgoing phone
calls after you forward your calls. Call Forwarding may be a good
security measure when you’re away from home.
Another feature. Call Waiting, will let you know that someone is
trying to call you if you’re already using the phone. A short beep
will alert you of the incoming call. You may then put the first caller
on hold to catch your second call.
If you want to have a simultaneous conversation with people on
two other phone lines, Three-Way Calling is available. With this
feature, you could talk to your brother in Raleigh and your sister
in Rocky Mount in the same conversation.
With Speed Calling, you can call frequently-dialed numbers
and emergency numbers just by dialing a one-digit or two-digit
number. For example, if you’re active in a club and call the
members Several times a week, you could program each
member’s number into the phone and save yourself a lot of
dialing. Speed Calling is available for eight numbers or 30
numbers.
You pay for Custom Calling Features on a monthly basis and
can cancel them at any time. You can purchase features
separately or in packages of three. You get a discount from the
phone company when you buy the features in packages. Prices
per feature start at about $1.25 a month, depending upon the
feature you choose.
Because Custom Calling Features are only available in areas
with digital telephone switching eqiupment, you should check
with your local telephone office to determine availability.
There are alternatives to Custom Calling Features, such as
answering machines and automatic dialers, which you can
purchase from a number of electronics and telephone stores. It’s
a good idea ot shop around to determine what’s the best buy for
your needs.
