Priority Call

Allows you to create a list of 31 important numbers that you can identify by a special ring. When a call is received from one of the pre-determined telephone numbers, the customer is alerted with a distinctive ringing pattern. If the customer also subscribes to call waiting tone and the call arrives while the line is busy, a distinctive call waiting tone accompanies the incoming call. Calls from telephone numbers not included on the screening list will produce a normal ringing pattern or call waiting tone.
