Call Barring
Allows you to block certain types of outgoing calls, such as overseas long-distance calls or calls to 1 900 numbers. The default setting on this service allows all types of outgoing calls (no features are activated).

Here are the programming codes to "Activate" Call Barring on certain types of calls using your home phone:

PROGRAMMING CODES	TYPES OF CALLS BLOCKED
*Dial 341**	All calls To block ALL calls (local, long distance, etc.) with the exception of emergency numbers (911, 811, 611) and toll-free numbers (example 1 800).
*Dial 342**	Long-distance phone calls To block long-distance calls: national calls (within North America, including Alaska and Hawaii) and international calls (overseas).
*Dial 343**	International To block international (overseas) long-distance calls only. TIP: This option can be used if you have dial-up Internet access (by modem) and you want to prevent "autodialer" software from disconnecting your modem, often without your knowledge, and dialing a long-distance number to another server overseas, thus entailing considerable long-distance charges on your phone bill.
*Dial 344**	Operator Assistance To block calls requiring the assistance of the operator (411 and 0).
*Dial 345**	Services with access codes To block calls that allow phone access to Call Management Services, such as 66, 69, *71, etc.
*Dial 346**	Toll calls To block calls placed to toll numbers (ex. 1 900).

Here are the programming codes to "deactivate" Call Barring on certain types of calls:

IMPORTANT: You will prompt for a PIN before you will be allowed to deactivate these features. This PIN number is the same as the one used for Remote Access to Call Forwarding.
