Speed Calling:

Speed Calling helps you:

Ø      Save time _ Speed Calling allows you to save time looking up and dialing telephone numbers or access codes.

Ø      Convenient _ With Speed Calling, you can program telephone numbers you call often, long distance numbers, access codes for telephone services, or a combination of numbers. And the service can be used from any telephone on your home or business line.

Ø      Flexible _ You can easily change the numbers on your Speed Calling list, as often as you would like.

Ø      Peace of mind _ Many customers use Speed Calling codes for emergency contact numbers such as doctors, police, fire, medical, etc., so that in an emergency they don't have to remember or look up these numbers.

Customers with either touchtone or rotary service can subscribe to Speed Calling. Any combination of local and long distance numbers, service access codes, and 3-digit numbers (such as 9-1-1 ) can be entered into the Speed Calling list. If an incorrect or unassigned Speed Calling code is dialed, you will hear a fast busy signal. Any part of a Three-Way or Six-Way Call can be dialed using Speed Calling service.
