Directory Number Privacy:

Directory Number Privacy gives you:

Ø      Privacy and security _ You can keep your name and/or telephone number private when calling people to whom you do not want your name and/or number known.

Per-Call Privacy allows you to select, on a call-by-call basis, whether or not you wish to have your name and number suppressed on the called party's telephone or call display unit.  In most states, Per-Call Privacy is available free of charge to all customers, including non-published or non-listed subscribers.

All-Calls Privacy will automatically suppress the appearance of your name and/or number on all calls.  In most states, All-Calls Privacy is available upon request at no charge to established shelters of private, non-profit and publicly funded domestic violence intervention agencies and federal, state and local law enforcement agencies.

Customers with either touchtone or rotary service can subscribe to Directory Number Privacy. If you do not have All-Calls Privacy service but wish to block a specific call you must activate Per-Call Privacy before placing the call. Since Per-Call Privacy is not a subscription service, any residential or business customer can block calls for security/privacy as they desire.

Speed Calling can be used to activate Per-Call Privacy.

1.  Lift the receiver and listen for dial tone.

2.  Dial the Directory Number Privacy access code, *67 (1167 on a rotary dial telephone).
