Notes:
West London and Yorkshire support Distinctive Ringing. This feature allows you to have more than one phone number on the same line and each one has a different Ring pattern. This feature is £1 per month.

Birmingham, West London, Scotland, and North London do not allow Call Waiting and Call Divert/Voicemail to be on the same line.

In Birmingham and Yorkshire you can not change the amount of rings before Diverts/Voicemail kick in - in the rest of the regions you can.

Customers in Birmingham and Yorkshire only:
If you need to alter the amount of rings before voicemail kicks in, you should ring either Customer Services (150) or Faults (151) and ask for the amount of rings to be changed. This is not possible on our DMS setup with * codes, I'm afraid, so we have to manually change the amount of divert rings for customers.

Customer Services will email you the User Guides (PDF format) for your chosen services if you ask them to.
