Anonymous Call Rejection

Anonymous Call Rejection allows you to reject incoming calls marked "private" or "anonymous". Calls marked "private" or "anonymous" are those calls on which line blocking has been activated in order to prevent name and number information from passing to you. The calling customer whose call is marked "private" or "anonymous" will receive a message stating that the party you are calling does not accept blocked calls and to reach this person you must unblock your line and dial the number again.

Three Way Calling

Three Way Calling allows you to add a third party to an existing call. You can either "conference" the third party or talk privately to the third party.

• Activate Three Way Calling
• Disconnect a Three Way Call

Call Screening

Call Screening allows you to establish a list of up to 15 telephone numbers from which you do not want to receive calls. Incoming callers from a number on the Call Screening list will be routed to a recorded message that notifies them that the caller they are trying to reach is "not accepting calls at this time".

• Activate Call Screening
  

Last Call Return/Callback

Last Call Return/Callback allows you to hear the telephone number of the last incoming call, regardless of whether or not the call was answered.

Last Call Return/Callback also allows you to "prompt" ImOn service to redial the telephone number at the last incoming call by dialing "1". The automatic redial function of this feature works in the same manner as Continuous Redial, redialing the number for up to 30 minutes and providing a distinctive ring when the call can be completed. Telephone numbers from incoming calls which are blocked are not given out with Last Call Return/Callback services, however the service will allow you to dial "1" to have ImOn service dial the number back.
