This popular feature gives you a second phone number on your regular line. When calls are made to the second phone number, your phone will ring differently usually two short rings as opposed to the regular, long ring when your primary, or regular phone number is called. There are many uses, which allow you to give your special calls the treatment they deserve. Ident-a-call keeps you from running to the phone if it is for someone else.
It is very useful for:
- Distinguishing Children's calls.
- Business Calls received at home.
- Fax Machine calls.
- Personal or special calls on your business phone.
- Roommates.

If you also subscribe to Call Waiting, calls to your second telephone number will also give you a special Call Waiting tone. That is you'll receive two short Call Waiting tones together twice if the second number has been called. The number of tones indicates the number the calling party has dialed.
