Phone Calling Features and Services
Get to know the advanced voice features of your TDS calling plan.
Caller ID
Know who’s calling before you answer the phone. Caller ID shows the name and number of the caller on your phone's display.
Call Waiting
Know who’s calling before you answer the phone. Caller ID shows the name and number of the caller on your phone's display.
Caller ID on Call Waiting
When you’re already on the phone, this feature displays the name and number of the caller when Call Waiting notifies you that another call is coming in.
Call Forwarding
Use Call Forwarding to send all incoming calls to a different phone number (cell phone, work phone, etc.). That means less chance of missing any important calls before you get back home.
Preferred Call Forwarding
Create a list of phone numbers to be forwarded to an alternate number when you’re called. Phone numbers not on the list ring normally.
Anonymous Call Rejection
Anonymous Call Rejection prevents unwanted disturbances from unidentified callers. This feature blocks calls from getting through if Caller ID Blocking has been activated.
Per-Call Caller ID Blocking
Keep your name and number from being seen by the party you’re calling. Simply dial *67 before the phone number to help ensure your privacy.
Priority Ringing
Priority Ringing lets you assign a special ringing pattern (or distinctive Call Waiting tone) to select numbers. This means you can identify important callers immediately simply by hearing the unique ring.
Special Call Acceptance
Special Call Acceptance helps prevent unwelcome solicitations and adds a layer of privacy by screening your incoming calls. You identify the phone numbers from which you’re willing to accept calls—any other callers will be informed your number is not receiving calls.
3-Way Calling
Simply press the flash button to add a third party to an existing phone conversation. 3-Way Calling makes it easy to confirm plans, coordinate schedules, and share important information quickly and easily.
Voice Mail
No more worrying about missed phone calls. Voice Mail lets callers leave messages up to 2 minutes long. Retrieve your messages from any phone, even while away from home, by dialing a designated voicemail access number and personal identification number.
