Flash Call Transfer: With the first party on the phone, click the flash or hang-up button once, dial the number you wish to transfer the call to, and then dial #. When the dialed party answers, click flash again to connect the two callers and hang up to drop out of the call.

Caller ID Blocking: Turn this service on or off for all calls and then selectively turn it back on or off by dialing *67 before you dial the call.

Anonymous Rejection: Reject calls from anonymous parties who have restricted their identity. Anonymous callers are notified that you will not accept calls from restricted callers. However, this feature does not apply to callers whose numbers are not available.

Cancel Call Waiting: To make an uninterrupted call, you can cancel call waiting by lifting the handset, dialing *70, and dialing your party. When you hang up, call waiting will be on for the next outgoing call.

3-way Conferencing: To initiate 3-way conferencing, dial the first party. When the first party answers, press the flash hook. Then, dial the third party and before or after the add-on party answers, press the flash hook to form a 3-way conference call.
