How-To: Choose which calls to accept with Call Screening
Call Screening will tell you which number your calls are coming from and give you the choice of when to accept a call.
- You can hear either the dialled TTNC number or the caller's number when you answer the call
- Calls are only answered if you press '1' on your phone's keypad
