With Call Privacy service, once a call has been intercepted, and the caller has identified themselves, you simply have to look at your telephone display screen to decide whether you would like to take the call and be immediately connected to the caller.

The caller will be asked to identify themselves by either pressing the star key to enter a 10-digit number, or releasing their number by pressing the pound key. A number must be entered or released before their call will ring through.

To allow “Private” numbers that call you frequently (such as calls from cellular phones) to get through to you automatically, you can add these numbers to your “Selective Acceptance List”. The service also allows you to set a “Friends & Family Passcode” so friends and family members who call from either “Private” or “Unknown” numbers can get through immediately, without being intercepted.

Call Privacy service offers you flexibility by giving you the option to turn the service ON or OFF. You also have the ability to screen out unwanted callers by redirecting these callers to a courteous Bell recording. And, if you're a Call Answer or Call Answer Message Manager service subscriber, you can enjoy “peace and quiet” without the phone ringing, by sending calls directly to your voice mailbox for a specified period of time.
