Caller ID

Comwave’s Caller Id service allows you to see the identity of the person calling you and they can see your identity when you call them.

How it works: Your telephone number and name were set when you signed up to

Comwave and will appear as first-initial lastname (example: J. Smith).

Tip:

If you wish, you can “hide” your Id (name and phone number) on a call-by-call basis by keying 67# before the number being dialed.

Call Waiting

Comwave’s Call waiting service allows you to answer a second incoming call without disconnecting your original call.

How it works:

To answer the second call and toggle between two callers, simply press the “Flash” or “Switch Hook” button on your telephone set.

Tip: If you subscribe to Call waiting service and wish to engage in a phone call without being interrupted by Call waiting, you can disable it for that call by keying 70# , followed by the number you wish to call.

There are many more features available.
