Analog Phone Feature Codes

 

Analog Phone Feature Codes

Many customers still use analog telephones because they are reliable, simple, and easy to use. Depending on the model of analog phone you have, your telephone may include built-in features such as speakerphone, caller ID display, call waiting, and speed dial.

However, basic analog telephones often only provide the ability to make and receive calls. To give all users access to advanced calling features, our phone system supports Feature Codes (also known as Star Codes) that can be entered directly from your telephone keypad.

What Are Feature Codes?

Feature Codes are special combinations of keys, usually beginning with the * (star) key, that allow you to activate, deactivate, or access specific phone system features.

These codes provide access to features that may not be available as buttons on your analog telephone.

How to Use Feature Codes

  1. Lift the handset or press the speaker button.
  2. Listen for dial tone.
  3. Enter the desired feature code.
  4. Follow any voice prompts or confirmation tones.
