Verified Account Code
This optional feature allows subscribers to require the
correct entry of a 4-digit numeric password before
allowing Long Distance calls to be placed on their
telephone service. The 4-digit numeric password is
selected by the subscriber at the time they order their
telephone service or, at a later time when they order the
Verified Account Code option.
To place a Long Distance call when Verified Account
Code is enabled, pick up the handset and dial the Long
Distance number you wish to call in the normal fashion
by dialing ’1’ and then the 10-digit number you wish to
contact. Once the last digit of the telephone number is
entered, callers will hear a special tone (five rapid beeps)
after which they must dial their pre-determined 4-digit
numeric password.
If the password is successfully submitted, the call will
be processed normally and the next thing the caller will
hear is the called number ring.
If the password is not entered, or entered incorrectly,
callers will receive a busy signal.
