Is your phone compatible?

Before enabling call features, just follow these few steps to make sure you’re ready to go:

  • It needs to be to a touch tone phone to get our calling features.
  • Has it got the *, # and Recall (R) buttons? You’ll need these too.
  • If your phone can switch between tone and pulse dialling, set it to MF or DTMF or Tone.
  • You’ll also need to make sure it’s set to Time Break Recall (TBR)

Not sure where these buttons are? Have a look on the bottom or side of the phone’s base, or look through the manufacturer’s manual that came with your phone.
