• Call restrictions

This feature allows you to restrict incoming and outgoing calls. Outgoing
calls are restricted from a list of restrictions that you create yourself.
Incoming calls are restricted to the All calls option (you cannot create a
list of restrictions for incoming calls).

Restricting outgoing calls

Upon selecting Restrict outgoing calls from the menu, you are presented
with the following options:

Select allows you to select call restrictions from the outgoing calls list.

Note: This menu option is available only when one restriction has

been enabled.

Add restriction allows you to create your own list of outgoing call
restrictions.

Once you have accessed Add restriction and have added at least one
restriction, the following options will be added to the menu for that
option:

Edit allows you to edit an existing outgoing call restriction.

Erase will erase any existing outgoing call restrictions.

Note: When calls are restricted, calls may be possible to the emergency

number programmed into your phone (e.g. 911 or other official
emergency numbers).

Adding outgoing call restrictions

You can add up to 10 restrictions for outgoing calls. The maximum
number of characters you can enter for each restriction is 15.

1. Press Menu 4-4-1 (Settings - Security settings - Call restrictions)

2. Select Restrict outgoing calls.

3. Enter the security code and press OK.

4. Scroll to Add restriction to create an outgoing call restriction and

press OK.

5. Enter the number string you wish to restrict and press OK. For example:

If you wish to restrict all calls that begin with 1, enter 1.

If you wish to restrict all calls that begin with 1972, enter 1972.

If you wish to restrict all calls that begin with 214, enter 214.

If you wish to enter a name for the call restriction, enter the name
using your phone’s keypad, then press OK. If a name is not entered,
the number that is restricted will appear in place of the name.

Note: When creating a new restriction, that restriction is automatically

selected (enabled) at the time it is saved.
