Cancel Call Waiting (*70): Turns off call waiting on a per-call basis.

Caller ID and Call Waiting Caller ID

Caller ID Block (*67)

Disable Caller ID Privacy (*82)

This feature is used if you have caller ID privacy set as a permanent feature on your Wave Phone. You will receive a message when calling an individual that does not accept anonymous calls. Simply hang up, dial *82 and try again.

Automatically Block Robo-Dialed Calls

Wave Phone service is compatible with Nomorobo, a free service that blocks or hangs up on illegal robocalls and telemarketers.

Nomorobo’s servers catch solicitation calls and hang up on them before you answer the call. All other calls are allowed to proceed as normal. Once you sign up, you will hear a single ring when a call is filtered by Nomorobo.

Repeat Dial (*66)

Cancel Repeat Dial (*86): Cancels the repeat dial function before the 30 minute time frame ends.

Return Call (*69)

Return the call of the last person who called you. Like Repeat Dial, if the line is busy it will continue to redial the number for up to 30 minutes.

Cancel Return Dial (*89): Disable return call before the 30 minute time frame is over.
