Automatic Recall
This feature allows you to redial your last caller even if you couldn’t answer the phone in time.
How to use:
- Pick up the handset and listen for a
normal dial tone.
- If you were already on the phone and ignored a call waiting tone, depress the “switchhook” and release quickly.
Press *69. On a rotary 1169. Your call will go through like a normal call.
- If the line is busy:
- Hang up. Your phone will keep trying the line for up to 30 minutes.
- A special callback ring alerts you if the line becomes free. (Some phones ring normally.)
- Pick up the handset to automatically place the call.
- To Cancel:
Press *89.
- Listen for confirmation tone or announcement, Hang up.
Notes:
- The “switchhook” is the round, flat, or square button you push to hang up the phone.
- After you dial *69, a voice will give you the phone number of the call you missed and ask if you want to use the Automatic Recall feature. Just follow the voice instructions.
- Does not work on 800 numbers, 900 numbers, numbers outside the specified service area, or lines using Call Forward and some other call services.
