FTS Telecom Digital Phone Calling Features
Click a feature to read more about it.
911 Dialing
FTS provides Basic 911 coverage nationwide and E911 where
available. FTS must know the physical location of your FTS telephone
adapter. You will be prompted to provide this information during
sign-up. If this address is not accurate or if you move your adapter
to another location, even temporarily, you must use the FTS online
account management portal at or call customer service to update the physical location of your adapter. If
this information is not accurately on record, emergency services
will not be able to locate you if you are unable to speak your
address or are disconnected, even in areas where E911 service is
available. 911 service may be disrupted by power outages or outages
of your Internet service. We urge you to review the "Emergency
Services 911 Dialing" section in the Terms of Service
agreement for more information about 911 Dialing.
Voicemail
With FTS, you can control your Voicemail via your phone or our
account management portal.
Caller ID
FTS Caller ID enables the phone number of the calling party to be
displayed on your phone.
Call Waiting
FTS Call Waiting works just like the call waiting feature
available with a traditional telephone service, but with FTS you
don't pay extra for it.
Call Forwarding
Use FTS's online account management portal to quickly configure
Call Forwarding to an alternate number.
Call Hunt
Rings lines in sequence
On the go - FTS will find you! Call Hunt is ideal for anyone with multiple FTS
lines. FTS Call Hunt rings FTS lines in sequence when your main FTS line
is busy.
If you have multiple lines, then you can't afford
not
to have FTS service with Call Hunt. Let's say one of your customers is in a bind
and needs to place an order immediately, but your main line is busy. With Call
Hunt, your customer's call will continue to ring your other FTS lines until the
call is answered. How's that for customer service! Now, instead of sending that
call to voicemail, you can provide the personal service that your customers rely
on.
If your business is really busy and none of your lines are available (maybe you
should think about adding an additional line), then
the call will be answered by the FTS Voicemail Plus system.
In short, Call Hunt lets you control, when, where and how your calls are
answered, and it's available at no extra charge!
Three Way Calling
With Three Way Calling, you will be able to connect with two
other parties at the same time.
Free In-Network Calls
Calls within the FTS network are always free. This includes
domestic and international calls.
FTS Mobility
Now you can take your phone service with you when you travel.
Simply pack your telephone adapter. As long as your have access to a
broadband Internet connection, you can still make and receive calls
on your FTS number. Note that some International locations require
adapters to support U.S. power supply and telephone cable standards.
Add a Second Line
FTS telephone adaptors support two lines. Just select "Add a
second line" during the order process and you will be prompted to
choose a rate plan for that line.

area or anywhere else in the country.

combination. 2 digit speed dialing works for International numbers

management portal.
