Selective Call Acceptance

When Someone Calls
When your feature is turned ON, you'll receive calls only from those on your acceptance list. Callers who are not on your list will simply hear an announcement that you are not accepting calls at this time.
Note:
You may press 1, 0, # or * (on a rotary phone, dial 1, 0, 12 or 11) at any time rather than waiting for the voice instructions. The list you create here is separate from any other lists you may be using for Distinctive Ringing, Selective Call Forwarding and similar features.
