The following features are standard for all Lumen® Voice Complete® customers. You manage these features using the Voice Complete Feature Manager (within Control Center).
Use this feature to answer an incoming call while on another call. For analog lines on the managed IAD, when a second call is received you are on a call, you will hear the Call Waiting tone. To answer the waiting call, press the flash hook. By pressing the flash hook again, you reconnect to the original party and holds the waiting party. The feature completes when any party hangs up.
You can turn Call Waiting on and off using the Voice Complete Feature Manager. You can also turn off Call Waiting on a per-call basis by dialing the feature access code (*70 is the default). Once the call ends, Calling Waiting is turned on again.
If your organization uses a PBX and you turn on Call Waiting, the call is delivered to the PBX and the PBX is responsible for handling the call. When Call Waiting is turned off, callers hear a busy signal when you are already on a call.
Use this feature to block delivery of your caller ID information. Manage this feature using the Voice Complete Feature Manager. The user controls the service via a Web interface, which provides the ability to activate and deactivate the service. If activated, all calls made by the user have the user’s identity blocked. If this feature is turned on, you can choose to send caller ID information on a per-call basis by entering the feature access code (*65 is the default). Once the call ends, Calling Line ID Blocking is turned on again.
Use this feature to block your outgoing caller ID on a per-call basis by dialing the feature access code before making a call (*67 is the default).
As an administrator, use this feature to intercept calls routed to a non-working internal line with informative announcements and alternate routing options (e.g., when a user leaves the organization).
As an administrator, use this feature to block specified incoming calls to your organization, department, or individual users. For example, you can prevent some users from receiving calls from outside the company. In addition to being able to configure which types of calls each user is restricted from receiving (for example, intra-group), you can regulate incoming calling by restricting specific digit patterns.
Individual users can also have custom configurations set for them by the group administrator, such as for the CEO or a lobby phone. To block a number for a user, first add the number to the group calling plan (leaving the checkbox selected for all users), then do following to block the number for a specific user or phone:
As an administrator, use this feature to block users from making certain types of outgoing calls, such as international or directory assistance. Configure the outgoing calling plan using the Voice Complete Feature Manager.

Individual users can also have custom configurations set for them by the group administrator, such as for the CEO or a lobby phone, by following these steps:
As an administrator, use this feature to configure each of the displayed user names and calling numbers. This information is visible to users in their profiles as read only. At the group level the administrators can control whether or not a single telephone number goes out for all calls. Administrators can select whether or not a group name goes out for all calls, however this applies only to calls that do not leave the Voice Complete platform. Once the call leaves the Voice Complete platform, the name the receiving end sees is based on the configuration of the industry database set during order provisioning for the calling number sent.
The group administrator can also configure the number being sent out per user by going to the user profile and updating the Calling Line ID Phone Number field. The Calling Line ID First & Last Name fields can also be updated, but the name in Voice Complete applies only to calls that stay within Voice Complete. Similar to above, for calls that leave the Voice Complete platform the name the receiving end sees is based on the configuration of the industry database set during order provisioning for the calling number sent.
Individual users can also have configurable Calling Line ID set for them by the group administrator, by following these steps:
As an administrator, use this feature to redirect all incoming calls to another phone number. Users have the option to activate and deactivate the service by dialing a feature access code or configuring the service using the Voice Complete Feature Manager or the Voice portal. If activated, a user must specify the forwarding number.
Provides the name and number of the group (or company) for outgoing calls from users in the group, rather than providing the user’s own name and number. The group number can be defined on a per-user basis, which is often appropriate for multi-location groups.
However, the name is provided only for other users of the service. The number is passed to both the service and PSTN, so is provided for all call recipients.
