Custom-calling and Centrex Services
Using Custom-calling Services
Custom-calling services, including Centrex services, are
provided by your telephone company or service provider.
Many of these services may already be included in the
Directory of your SmarTalk, and linked to labeled speed
dial buttons. These may include: Call Park, Call Pickup,
Call Forward, Voice Mail, and many others.
Use most custom-calling services that are not in the
Directory, and not linked to SmarTalk speed dial buttons,
by pressing the
!
or # button, then number buttons.
Cancel a service by pressing
!
or # and different number
buttons.

Using Longer Custom-calling Services
Some custom-calling services need more information.
They tell you this by making special sounds:
dial
tone
regular, steady tone. Can be a prompt
for more information
more
prompt
usually a series of beeps, three or
more. A prompt for more information
done
prompt
a different series of beeps from the
more
prompt, usually two beeps. This
is an acknowledgement that you have
finished and can hang up.
oops
prompt
usually a long series of fast beeps, or a
fast busy tone. You made a mistake, or
something is not available. Hang up for
at least five seconds. Then start again.
Hanging up for less than five seconds
is usually understood as a
flash
prompt.
