Calling Line Identification Presentation (per call)

Do Not Disturb
The Do Not Disturb feature causes your NodePhone to appear engaged (busy) to anyone attempting to call you. It is handy if you want your NodePhone service to be available for you to make outgoing calls, but you don't wish to be disturbed by incoming calls.
Do Not Disturb can be enabled using your telephone handset, or by using the NodePhone Toolbox.

NOTE: There is no charge for call waiting, and it can be enabled or disabled through the NodePhone Toolbox. Call waiting is set to Off by default.
Answer an incoming call when already on a call:
(Or to switch between two calls)
- When you hear the Call Waiting tone, press Flash/Hook to answer the incoming call.
- To switch back to your original call, press Flash/Hook again.
To disable Call Waiting for a single call:

Call Return
Call Return allows you to call the last person that called your NodePhone number, whether or not the original call was answered - as long as the original caller presented their number when they called.
NOTE: Calls to returned numbers are charged to your account at the regular NodePhone call rates for the number being called.
To use Call Return:
- Lift your handset for dial-tone, then press *69#.
Customer Originated Trace
Customer Originated Trace allows you - if in receipt of an obscene, harassing, or threatening phone call - to request that the call be automatically traced.
Customer Originated Trace allows Internode to record details about the source of the malicious call. This information is not available to customers, however, if the police are subsequently involved, the information may then be used by the relevant authorities to prosecute in a court of law.
To request a Customer Originated Trace:
- After receiving a malicious call - answered or not - dial feature code *57.
