Voice call forward, call

restrictions and call waiting

The network services call forward, call restric- tions and call waiting, may not be supported by all operators, and may be options you will have to subscribe to.

Information about the status of these services is stored in the network. Therefore, the current set- tings are not shown until you request the infor- mation from the network.

To see the value of the selected mode, press Get status. While the communicator is making a request to the network, a query note is shown on the display. After a successful request, the new value will appear on the settings list.

To cancel all call forwards or restrictions, press Cancel call forward or Cancel call restrictions.

When call forward is active and you make a call, a text message is shown on the phone interface display, reminding you that your incoming calls will be forwarded to another phone number. The text will appear only if your network operator supports this feature.

Voice call forward

The voice call forward network service allows you to direct your incoming voice calls to another phone number (fax forward is activated via the Fax application settings).

Note: The network will store the number to which your calls are forwarded, even if you deactivate call forward.

Choose a forwarding mode:

Forward all calls — All incoming calls are forwarded.

Forward when phone is busy — Incoming calls are forwarded only when the phone interface is busy.

Forward when not answered — Incoming calls are forwarded when you do not answer them.

Forward if not reachable — Incoming calls are forwarded when the phone interface is switched off or outside of the network service area.

After pressing Change, the following options be- come available:

To — Enter the number to which you want to forward your calls.

To voice mailbox — Calls will be forwarded to your voice mailbox. The phone number of the voice mailbox must be set in Other settings. Off — Calls are not forwarded.

Voice call restrictions

The voice call restrictions network service allows you to place restrictions on outgoing and incom- ing voice calls (fax restrictions are activated in the Fax application settings and data restrictions are activated in the Internet application settings).

Activating call restrictions or changing the restric- tions settings requires the restrictions password, which you obtain from the network operator. Once you have the restrictions password, you can change it in the Security settings (the Security ap- plication is found in the System main view).

The available restrictions modes are:

All outgoing calls — Calls cannot be made.

All international calls — Calls cannot be made to foreign countries.

International except home country — When out- side North America, calls can be made only with- in the current country and to your home country, i.e., the country where your home network oper- ator is located.

All incoming calls — Calls cannot be received.

Incoming calls when abroad — Calls cannot be received when you are outside North America.

Note: In some networks, emergency numbers (e.g., 911 or other official emergency numbers) may be possible even when calls are restricted.
