Preliminary
foreign area code. Many areas do not allow local calls to be placed with 11 digits
(1-NPA-NXX-XXXX).
With
Tel-Lynx
, you dial phone numbers as you are used to. However, regardless
of your local dialing rules,
Tel-Lynx
always
allows you to dial phone numbers in
the NANP with all 11 digits, so you don't have to know if a call is local or toll.
Also, you can use numbers received by caller ID without having to edit them to
conform to your local dialing rules.
Tel-Lynx
uses a set of tables to decide how to dial a given call and announces
the toll status of a call when you place it.
If a given phone number's toll status is different from Tel-Lynx
’s
tables,
you may get a message saying you may not dial 1 when making a local
call, or you must dial a 1 when making a toll call, even if you dialed the
number correctly. If you receive such a message, hang-up, wait a second,
take the telephone off-hook, flash the switch hook, then press
5
3
.
You will be asked to enter the four-digit
secret code
for setup to confirm
the toll status change in Tel-Lynx
’s
local prefix table. You can then hang up
and dial again, and your call should go through.
Star Codes (Vertical Service Codes)
Vertical Service Codes are special codes (two digits preceded by
*
) dialed
before dialing a phone number. Using a rotary dial telephone, dial 0, then flash
the switch hook, then dial the two-digit code. You
cannot
dial vertical service
codes using
Tel-Lynx
by dialing '11nn' where 'nn' is the code.
Tel-Lynx
stores up to four vertical service codes to be dialed before the phone
number. They are stored as long as your telephone is off-hook. When you hang
up, the vertical services codes are cleared from
Tel-Lynx
’s memory.
After dialing a vertical service code, you will hear a stutter dial tone. You can then
dial as usual, or you can dial another vertical service code.
Calling Premium Numbers
Premium numbers (those that begin with 900 area codes and 976 prefixes) may
incur an additional fee from your
service provider
. Please consult your service
provider(s) regarding how these fees will be charged. As of this printing,
Skype™
does not allow calls to premium numbers.
Note:
Premium calls are disabled initially. You can enable premium calls by
adding outside line(s) to the Premium Calling Table (See
Calling Tables
).
Operator Feature
You can invoke the operator feature by dialing
0
at the dial tone and waiting
two seconds. The operator feature allows you to use voice commands and is
only available when
Tel-Lynx
is attached to a PC with the
Tel-Lynx
software.
