DISTINCTIVE RING
(CALL SELECTOR)
 

Make a list of special numbers, and your phone uses a special ring to announce calls from any of those numbers. If you also have Call Waiting, you will hear a special Call Waiting tone.

  1. Lift the handset and listen for the dial tone.
  2. Press *61 (On a rotary phone, dial 1161).
