Dialing Notes
It is important to remember that your telephones in your home or business are
connected to
Tel-Lynx
and not directly connected to any of your phone
service
providers
. The dial tone you hear when you pick up your home telephone is
coming from
Tel-Lynx
, not from your
Telco
,
VoIP
, or
mobile phone
provider. You
will not be connected to any of those services until
Tel-Lynx
places your call.
Tel-Lynx
monitors
outside line
activity, so it knows which outside lines are in use
and which are available to place a call.
Tel-Lynx
will make an announcement if
no outside lines are available to place a call, and will provide a dial tone so that
you can try again. Press

to retry the call.
