Alternate Line Service
As an Alternate Line customer, you will be given a separate phone number for each line. With alternate lines, you can separate business and personal calls, or designate one as a priority line.
Nextel Mobile Messaging and Nextel Online services use the Line 1 phone number. You only need to subscribe to Caller ID or Voice Mail once — these services will be available on both lines. Forwarding Line 2 to Line 1 will send Line 2 incoming calls directly to Voice Mail without ringing.
The following settings are independent for each phone line. When you enable one of these settings, it applies only to the active line:
•Call Forwarding
•Ring/Vibe
•In Call Setup
•Call Timers
•Auto Answer
