No Answer / Call Forward

Automatically forward your calls to a different phone number when you do not answer your phone after four rings. No Answer / Call Forward allows you to forward all your calls to a different phone number when you do not answer your phone. Use this service when you would rather have someone else take the call instead of the caller being sent to your voice messaging box if you miss a call.

Call Waiting

With this SkyNET feature, you can answer a call while already on another call. Call Waiting allows you to receive another call while you are on the phone. When a second call is received, if you are already on the phone, a call waiting tone will alert you. See the caller's ID on your phone if you are using Caller ID. To answer the waiting call, simply press the flash button or switch hook. You will be connected with the waiting party, while your original party is placed on hold. Press the flash button or switch hook again, to reconnect to the original party and hold the waiting party. You can continue to alternate between parties as often as you’d like. It’s like having two lines for the price of one.

You can also cancel Call Waiting for calls in progress. Simply dial the *70 feature access code directly from your phone. The system plays a confirmation announcement and then applies a dial tone. The user then dials the destination number. For the duration of the call, the user is not presented with any waiting calls. Call Waiting is automatically reactivated when the call ends.

Call Waiting completes when any party hangs up. SkyNET account members can also enable call waiting via the SkyNET Call Manager.

Call Transfer

With this SkyNET feature, you can transfer a call while using a simple phone without call control capability. Flash Call Transfer allows you to transfer a call even when your phone does not have a transfer button. To transfer a call, flash the phone (click the flash button or click the hang up button once) then dial the number you would like to transfer the call to. Once the transfer number answers, click flash again and the two callers are connected. If you have Flash Three-Way Calling, instead of transferring on the second flash, you are connected in a conference call. Once in the conference call, if you hang up the phone, the callers remain talking to each other, in effect, transferred.

*69 Call Return

This feature allows you to call the last person that called you, whether or not you answered the call. To call back the last party that called, simply dial the call return feature code [*69]. Our system will store the number of the last person to call, and will call that person. SkyNET *69 (Call Return) is always free.

Last Number Redial

Always / Call Forward

Automatically forward all your incoming calls to a different phone number. Always / Call Forward allows you to forward all your incoming calls to a different phone number, such as your home office or cell phone. Note that the number you forward your calls to must be permitted by your outgoing calling plan. You can also set the phone number to forward to using the SkyNET customer web interface or on the phone using the feature access code.

To use, simply dial *72+number. For example, if you wish to forward your calls to SkyNET, you would dial *7213526887202 and your calls would be forwarded until you cancelled it by pressing *73.

Unidentified Caller Rejection

With SkyNET’s Anonymous Call Rejection, you can reject calls from callers who have blocked the display of their Caller ID. Only deliberate anonymous numbers are rejected. Callers whose Caller ID numbers are not available are not rejected. Callers that are rejected are told by a prompt that you are not accepting calls from unidentified callers. Your phone doesn’t ring and you will not receive any notice they called.

Conference Calling

Setting up a SkyNET Conference Call is simple.

  1. Call party A.
  2. Once they have answered, press the Flash button on your phone. If it is an older phone, the handset hook functions the same. You have just put party A on hold.
  3. Now, dial *23 plus the number of party B, the other person you wish to reach.
  4. Once they are on the line, press the Flash button (or handset hook as above) your phone.
  5. You and both of your called parties should now be conferenced together.
