Do Not Disturb
Do Not Disturb is perfect for those times when you
don't want to be interrupted by a phone call. When the Do Not
Disturb feature is on, anyone who dials your phone number will
hear a message stating that you are currently not accepting
calls.
If there are family members or friends whose calls you always
want to receive, you can create a four-digit Special Pass
Code and share it with them. The Special Pass Code allows
a caller to bypass Do Not Disturb and get in touch with you.
To turn on Do Not Disturb (from the WebPhone dialer):
- Select "Set Do Not Disturb" from the Account
menu on the WebPhone dialer window.
- Do Not Disturb is now active, and no calls will be connected
to your WebPhone. As a reminder, a check mark will appear
beside "Set Do Not Disturb" and "DND is ON"
will be displayed in the Call Status Window.
- To turn off Do Not Disturb, re-select "Set Do Not
Disturb" from the Account menu.
To turn on Do Not Disturb (using a feature code):
- Press *98 and then the Dial button.
- Press 1 to enable Do Not Disturb.
- Once you hear the confirmation that Do Not Disturb has
been enabled, you may press the End button.
To turn off Do Not Disturb (using a feature code):
- When you are ready to accept calls, press *98 and then
the Dial button.
- Press 2 to turn off Do Not Disturb. When you hear the
confirmation you may press the End button.
To set up your Special Pass Code (using a feature code):
- Press *98 and then the Dial button.
- Press 3 to access the Do Not Disturb options.
- Press 1 to access the Special Pass Code options and follow
the instructions. You can set up and change your code and
also activate and deactivate the feature.
Usage Notes:
- If you have activated the Special Pass Code feature and
a caller enters the correct four-digit code while the Do
Not Disturb message is playing, the call is connected immediately
and rings on your phone.
- If you have created a Special Pass Code but have not activated
the feature, all callers will be prevented from reaching
you, even callers who know your Special Pass Code.

Frequently Asked Questions:
If Do Not Disturb is on, what will a caller hear after
dialing my phone number?
When Do Not Disturb is on, incoming callers will hear this
message: "The party you are calling has declined to accept
this call." If your calling plan includes VoiceMail,
the caller will also hear "Please hold to leave a VoiceMail
message." After a pause, the caller will hear your outbound
VoiceMail message and will have the opportunity to leave you
a message.
How does Do Not Disturb work if Call Forwarding is
also on?
Do Not Disturb will be applied before your Call Forwarding
settings. If Do Not Disturb is bypassed by someone with your
Special Pass Code, the call will be forwarded according to
the settings you have specified.
How does Do Not Disturb work if Call Blocking is also
on?
Call Blocking (which includes Selective Call Acceptance and
Rejection, and Anonymous Call Rejection) will be applied before
Do Not Disturb. If the call is not blocked, then Do Not Disturb
will be applied. The caller will have the opportunity to use
a Special Pass Code to bypass Do Not Disturb.
Will Call Return work when Do Not Disturb is on?
Yes. You can initiate a Call Return request and will still
receive the Call Return notification call, even if Do Not
Disturb is on.
