Monthly Business Price: $3.50

Note: 

You may press 1, 0, # or * (on a rotary phone, dial 1, 0, 12 or 11) at any time rather than waiting for the voice instructions. The list you create here is separate from any other lists you may be using for Distinctive Ringing, Selective Call Forwarding and similar features.
