Distinctive Alerting

Allows your telephone line to have up to three (3) telephone numbers assigned to the same telephone line.

Each has its own unique ringing pattern. The subscriber can determine for whom a call is intended by the sound of the ringing pattern. The subscriber must have an existing telephone service on the same premises to be eligible for this option. The subscriber must pay for an additional listing to have the second and/or third numbers published because the numbers are assigned to only one line.

Separate lines into the same premise may also be eligible for Distinctive Alerting in order to determine which line the call is originating from. The numbers cannot be used concurrently.

Example:

John Doe 475-0000 2 Long Rings

Teenline 475-0001 2 Short Rings

Doe Business 475-0002 Short Long

All telephone numbers are assigned to ring at John Doe’s residence – on the same phone.
