In order to simplify our wireless systems, the Calling Feature codes in the above areas will be changing on 11/15/2007:  

User's may experience a change to some voicemail features. Message Waiting Tones, PIP Tones or Stutter Dial Tone will no longer be active after the conversion date. For reference, these features provided notification of new voicemail when users attempted to place a call. Please note that customer's will still continue to receive Text Message notification when a new voicemail message is received.

 

Please take note of the following instructions to be used for your Calling Features.
