Distinctive Ringing
Know who the call is for - as soon as it rings.

How it Works:

Two, three, or four different phone numbers can be assigned to your telephone line. Use one number for adults ... a separate number for a home business ... and another for the children. You can answer the phone differently for each call.


To Use:

1. When someone dials your main telephone number, you'll hear normal ringing
(one long ring).

2. When someone dials any of the other telephone numbers, you'll hear a special ring that identifies that number (such as two short rings).

3. Wait until the full ring pattern is complete before answering. You'll know whether the call is for you - and how you should greet the caller.


If you also have Call Waiting:

1. If someone dials your main number while you're on the phone, you'll hear a normal Call Waiting tone.

2. If someone dials one of the other numbers, you'll hear a special Call Waiting tone that identifies that particular number.

  • Only one conversation can be held at a time. Although you have more than one telephone number, you still only have one line.
  • Your telephone company determines how many different numbers can be assigned to your line.
