IMC Digital Phone Calling Feature Setup

Inter Mountain Cable VoIP Digital Phone Calling Features - In addition to great quality, low-cost calling with IMC VoIP Digital Phone Service, you get the following features - FREE with every monthly calling plan. Check out our top fourteen Calling Features listed below:


Caller Name with ID
Definition: Caller ID is a feature that allows you to know who is calling you before answering the phone. Normally, the number of the caller is displayed on the phone. If you have a contact entry for the caller in your contact list, their name appears. But that’s the name you have entered in your phone. You can see the name of the person as registered with his service provider, by subscribing to a flavor of the caller ID service called caller ID with name.


Call Waiting
Definition: With traditional phone systems, you very often miss important calls because you are already on a conversation on the phone. Any person calling you while your line is engaged hits against an annoying beep asking them to hang down. With call waiting, you no longer miss important calls. If you are al­ready on the phone and another person calls you, hear a special beep notifying you of this, and you can choose between putting that call on hold, taking it immediately and putting the first call on hold, or sending the second call to voicemail.

  1. Dial *70 to activate this feature.


Three-Way Calling
Definition: With 3-Way Calling, you can get a taste of phone conferencing: you can speak to two other persons at the same time, making a three-person conversa­tion. If you have to discuss about something among friends, or with your mom and brother at the same time, 3-way calling is very helpful.


How To: (click to show)
  1. Press the switchhook once for half a second and release. This puts the original call on hold.
  2. Listen for three short tones, then a dial tone.
  3. Dial the telephone number of the third person to be added. After the third person answers, you may talk with that person be­fore returning to the original call.
  4. To return the original caller to the line and complete the three-way conversation, press the switchhook once for half a a sec­ond, and release immediately. To disconnect the original caller, the caller simply hangs up the VoIP phone.


Camp-On (Automatic Call Back)
Definition: Camp-On allows you to complete a transfer to a busy extension. The call is put on hold until the extension can receive a call; then it rings automati­cally. While the call is on hold, the caller (inside or outside) hears special ring back. A Call Waiting tone sounds at the busy extension to indicate that a call is waiting. If you do not answer the call within the programmed Camp-On return interval (30-300 sec­onds), the call returns to the originator. The origina­tor hears a priority ring (one ring and two beeps) to indicate a returning Camp-On call.


How To: (click to show)
  1. After placing a call that can’t be com­pleted because the line is busy, hang up and then pick up the receiver and listen for a dial tone.
  2. Dial *66 and follow the recorded in­structions.
  3. To deactivate: Hang up and then pick the receiver back up and dial *86. Some electronic phones will not provide a distinc­tive ringing pattern, however, the Automatic Callback feature will function with a normal ring pattern.


Anonymous Call Rejection (ACR)
Definition: Unfortunately, we all receive those annoying “Name and Number Blocked” or “Anonymous” phone calls - a favorite of telemarketers and prank calling kids. Fortunately, IMC’s Anonymous Call Re­jection feature lets you reject calls from callers who have blocked the display of their phone number. Only deliberate anonymous numbers are rejected, unknown numbers will still ring. Callers that are rejected are informed that you are not accepting calls from unidentified callers. Your phone does not ring and you do not receive any indication that they called.


Speed Dialing
Definition: Speed dialing allows you to dial your most fre­quent contacts by pressing only one or two digits. For example, you can set your phone such that it dials your mum when you press 1, and your boss when you press 0, and so on. With speed dialing, you no longer need to remember long 11-digit num­bers and make mistakes while dialing them.


How To: (click to show)
  1. Listen for the dial tone, then dial the acti­vating code (74 for the 8-number list, 75 for the 30-number list). If you are using a Touch-Tone phone, press the # key after you press 74 or 75.
  2. Listen for a second dial tone, and then dial the code number you want to assign to a specific phone number.
  3. Dial the telephone number. Two short tones confirm that the code has been pro­grammed.


Call Trace
Definition: Call trace is the ability to mark an incoming call as offensive, an emergency or requiring tracing or follow-up, such as a bomb threat, an obscene caller, or a caller who is having a medical emergency.


How To: (click to show)
  1. After receiving a call which you want to trace, hang up and then pick up the receiver and dial *57. An announcement will inform you that the trace feature has been activated and provides you with instructions on how to proceed with or abort the trace.


Voice-To-Email
Definition: Voicemail is a voice message that a caller leaves when the person called is absent or is taken up with another conversation. The voicemail feature acts in a way similar to the old answering machine, but with the main difference that instead of the voice mes­sage being stored on your answering machine, it is stored on the service provider’s server, in a space reserved for the user called a mailbox. It is not very different from email, save that the messages are voices instead of text.


Call Forwarding with ID
Definition: Call forwarding allows you to forward incom­ing calls from your phone to any other phone or to voicemail. You can thus be sure not to miss any call while you are away from home or office. What does forwarding a call mean? It simply means that when your phone rings at home, and you are not there, the call is transferred to another phone (depending on what you have set before leaving).


How To: (click to show)
  1. Lift the receiver and dial 72.
  2. Listen for a second dial tone and then dial the number to which you want your calls forwarded. Two short tones will indicates the number has registered.
  3. When the other telephone is answered, Call Forwarding is in effect. Stay on the line for five seconds. If the line is busy or there is no answer, hang up and immediately repeat the first three steps. Call Forwarding will be established automatically when you hear two short tones plus a dial tone. No answer is required to activate Call Forwarding on the second attempt.
  4. To cancel Call Forwarding, dial 73 and lis­ten for two short tones and a dial tone.
  5. Selective Call Forwarding: Dial *64 and fol­low the recorded instructions.


Voice-Mail
Definition: Voicemail is a voice message that a caller leaves when the person called is absent or is taken up with another conversation.

Contact List
Definition: Contact Lists allow you to customize your Caller ID so that the name displayed for a contact is the one that you want to see. You are already enjoying this feature with your mobile phone.


Incoming Call Log
Definition: You can view all your incoming, outgoing, and missed calls for your Inter Mountain Phone ac­count. How does it help? You learn that a week ago you missed an important call. You have cleared your Caller ID from your phone. How do you track down that number? Check your Call Logs! All your calls incoming, outgoing, and missed are all avail­able by date and time.


Find Me
Definition: Wherever you go, you can have your calls follow you! Find Me allows incoming calls to “find you” at multiple phone numbers, one after another. If you don’t pick up at one number, the call will move on to the next, until either you pick up or the call ter­minates.


Telemarketer Screening
Definition: A telemarketer is someone that calls you to sell something. Most of the time, this call comes at a time when you least want to hear the phone ring: after a hard day’s work, waiting for dinner to be served. The telemarketer blocking feature allows your phone service to automatically disconnect the line whenever a telemarketer tries to reach you. It is not possible to use the call blocking feature here be­cause you can’t know what the number of the call­ing telemarketer is. Telemarketer blocking works in a different way.
