Your traditional phone company never offered so many calling features. Best of all, your BroadVoice plan includes all of these features at no additional charge.
The BroadVoice Portal allows you to control your calling features any time you want. Simply log into your BroadVoice account by entering your user name and password in the upper right corner of any BroadVoice.com page. Unlike the traditional phone company, you do not need to call every time you want to make a change.

Prevent a caller from reaching you when the caller has explicitly restricted his/her Caller ID/number. Anonymous Call Rejection allows you to reject calls from callers who have blocked the display of their number. Only deliberate anonymous numbers are rejected. Callers whose numbers are unavailable are not rejected. Callers that are rejected are informed that you are not accepting calls from unidentified callers. Your phone does not ring and you do not receive any indication that they called. However, this does not apply to calls within your group.Return to top

The user can also cancel Call Waiting for calls in progress. Simply dial the *70.

and then applies a dial tone. The user then dials the destination number. For the
