Telemarketing Block is a new service from HunTel that stops telemarketing and other bothersome calls with the touch of a button, giving you the privacy you need.

Otherwise, from your touch-tone phone, press one and the pound sign to complete the call.” Your phone doesn’t ring unless the caller presses the proper keys. If you have voice mail, the message continues with, “Or stay on the line to leave a voice mail message.” Additionally, you may designate a Preferred List of up to 50 phone numbers that will bypass the Telemarketing Block feature.
The Do Not Disturb feature provides additional privacy. When this feature is active, callers will hear, “The party you have reached does not wish to be disturbed at this time.

Conference Bridge |
per use
|
Conference bridging is now available from HunTel. This is a great way for businesses to conference up to 30 participants into a single call while saving time and travel costs.
With conference bridging, participants call into a pre-assigned number using their own long distance carrier. A tone alerts the other callers that a new participant has joined the call. Because this is a fully-automated service, no operator assistance is needed.
There is a $30 standard set-up charge to use the conference bridge plus a $5 charge for each location accessing the conference call. Long distance charges and applicable tax are additional. For example, seven locations would cost $30 (set-up fee) plus $35 (seven participants at $5 each) plus any long distance charges and applicable taxes.
To order the conference bridging service, simply call the HunTel Customer Service Center at
426-6200 or 1-888-262-2661. When placing an order, you will need the number of participants and the approximate length of the call.

1. Call 426-6200 or 1-888-262-2661.
2. Tell the Customer Service Center representative the date and time of the call, the approximate length of call and the number of locations participating.
3. The HunTel Customer Service representative will give you a pre-assigned number for you and your participants to call in to on the date of the conference
call.

1. Call the pre-assigned number.
2. A tone will alert the other callers that a new caller has joined the call.
