Sending a Call Alert
You can send a call alert, which lets the recipient know that you would like to
talk with them. When you send an alert, the recipient’s phone will chirp several
times and your name/number will appear on their display, if they have stored
your Private ID.
Receiving/Responding to a Call Alert
When you receive an alert, your phone will automatically change to Private
mode. It will also chirp and you will see the name or the number (if you have not
stored the individual in a list) of the caller. You can either answer, queue or clear
the call alert.
