Repeat Dialing Instructions

Remember the last time you repeatedly tried to call someone and their line was busy or there was no answer? Now, Repeat Dialing makes your life easier. It automatically redials the last number you dialed. If the line is busy, Repeat Dialing will keep trying until the line is free, then signal you. You can use Repeat Dialing for more than one busy number at a time. During this time you may place and receive other calls.

How To Use

1. Listen for dial tone.
2. Press * 6 6 (1166 for rotary or dial pulse telephones).
3. If the line is:

   	Not busy - Listen for normal ringing.
   	Busy - Listen for announcement, hang up. You will hear a special ring when the line is free.

How To Cancel

Press * 8 6 (1186 for rotary or dial pulse telephones), then listen for announcement.

Note: If you subscribe to PrestigeŽ Communications Service or PrestigeŽ Single Line service your code to cancel is * 5 6.

Tips And Techniques

When the line is busy:

	Repeat Dialing will automatically attempt to place the call every minute for half an hour.
	When the line becomes free you will hear a special ring (short-short-long ring cycle).
	Pick up the receiver and the number you were calling will ring.
	If you don't pick up, in most areas, the special ring will be repeated every 5 minutes for the remainder of the half hour, provided the line remains free.

You may place and receive calls while Repeat Dialing is trying to reach a busy number.

Repeat Dialing is capable of monitoring more than one busy phone number at a time. Your phone will signal you with a special ring when one of these numbers becomes available; however, you will not be able to tell which of the numbers it is. If you wish, you may cancel the special ring, but this cancels all of the numbers which are monitored.

If you use Repeat Dialing to a long distance number, you will be billed for a long distance charge.

If you hear a recorded announcement that the call cannot be completed or a fast busy signal, it will be for one of these reasons:

	The number you are trying to call back is not in the TouchStarŽ service serving area.
	The TouchStar service is temporarily overloaded and cannot complete the call. Please try again.
	The number you are trying to call back has activated Call Forwarding service.

If you have both RingMasterŽ service and TouchStar service and you place a call to a number that is busy or doesn't answer and activate Repeat Dialing, the call will be returned to the Main Telephone Number with short, short, long ring pattern.

When you use Repeat Dialing with RingMaster service, you will have four ringing patterns to consider.

	Main service Telephone Number (One long ring).
	First Additional RingMaster service Telephone Number (Two short rings).
	Second Additional RingMaster service Telephone Number (Short, long, short ring).
	Call Return/Repeat Dialing (Short, short, long ring).
