Telephone - Feature Descriptions:

Caller ID- Name & Number: Lets you see who's calling before you answer the phone. Caller ID lets you see the name and number of the calling party trying to reach you. The display unit or display phone, which you can purchase from Interstate Communications, needs to be compatible with Caller ID. Nationwide number delivery may vary depending on the capabilities of a long distance carrier's telephone network.

Voicemail: Check your messages anytime from a touch-tone phone. With voice mail, you can still receive your messages when you're surfing on the web, talking to someone else, or just away from the phone. Place a call to your voicemail box and retrieve your messages. Private and secure! Just the way we know you want them to be.

Call Waiting: Never miss an incoming call while you're on the phone. Call waiting alerts you wile you're on the phone. You can put the first party on hold while you answer the second call. Then return to your first caller.

Call Forwarding: Calls to your phone can be forwarded to another selected number. A great feature to use when you want that important phone call to get to you wherever you are.

Call Forwarding on Busy: Another great feature for our customers who can't afford to miss that special call. Forwarding your home phone to a cellular phone while you are on the internet is just another way to stay connected.

3-Way Calling: Add a third party to your conversation. Just establish a normal call, push the FLASH button, and dial the third party. When the ringing party answers, once again push the FLASH button and all three parties are connected!

Wire Maintanence: A small price for peace of mind! We will respond to your telephone problems during business hours with out being charged a trip fee. The Wire Maintenance feature also includes a half hour of labor to repair the trouble once the difficulty has been isolated.

Wake Up Call: Don't over sleep in the mornings. Get wake up call! Easy to setup. Use your phone to program a time to call. Turning this feature on or off is really easy too!

Unlisted Directory: Looking for additional privacy? Call our office and ask about Unlisted Directory. Your name will no longer appear in any phone book or through directory assistance which adds personal privacy in your home.

900 Block: Protect yourself against huge unwanted phone bills. 900 Block stops someone from making costly calls to your phone. And the best part is it is FREE of charge, only from Interstate Communications.

International Block: Much like the 900 Block, avoid costly, accidental calls to a foreign country. We also offer this feature FREE of charge with your protection in mind.

Toll Restrict: For customers who want local service only, toll restrict will prevent long distance calls from being made on their phone. A great way to manage your monthly services.

Personal Account Code: Looking for a way to keep long distance but block teens from abusing it? It is as simple as a PAC Code. Setting this feature with a Personal Identification Number that only YOU will know will allow only YOU to dial long distance.

Trunk Rollover: In your business, you want the ability to answer every call. Let Trunk Rollover search for an idle phone line while another line is in use. Now the customer can reach you when they need you the most.  NOW!

Caller Rejection:

  • Anonymous- Blocking all calls that would appear on Caller ID as "unknown" or "out of area", this is one way to block your phone from telemarketers, but it could also block desired calls (ie. Doctor's office calls) from coming in too.
  • Selective- Being bothered by just one number? Selective Call Rejection will block that number from coming into your home.
