What services are available with my landline?

BAMBOO Duo and BAMBOO Trio customers have access to a range of landline services:

Call transfer: If you’re on the phone with someone and want to put them through to somebody else, this is the easy way to connect two speakers and withdraw from the conversation. Here are details of how to activate this option:

  • Scenario 1: You initiate the calls to No. 1 and No. 2
  1. You call the first person (No. 1), speak to them and decide to transfer them to a second person (No. 2). You put your call with No. 1 on hold (hang up briefly (or press the R key)) 
  2. Contact the second subscriber (dial the number for No. 2). (At this stage, you’re speaking to No. 2 and No. 1 is on hold.)
  3. Hang up to transfer the call  (No. 1 and No. 2 are now on the line together.)
  • Scenario 2: You only initiate one of the calls
  1. No. 1 calls you and asks you to transfer them to No. 2. You put your call with No. 1 on hold (hang up briefly (or press the R key)) 
  2. Contact the second subscriber (dial the number for No. 2). (At this stage, you’re speaking to No. 2 and No. 1 is on hold.)
  3. Hang up to transfer the call  (No. 1 and No. 2 are now on the line together.)

Cost of use: you only pay for the calls you initiate (official tariffs apply).

You want to transfer No. 1 to No. 2 : If you initiated the calls to No. 1 and No. 2 you pay for both calls, even after the transfer. If you only initiated one of the calls (either the call to No. 1 or the call to No. 2), you only pay for the call you initiated.

Call a set number after a delay: This service lets you call another subscriber without dialling their number. All you have to do is pick up the receiver and wait five seconds, and you will automatically be put through to another subscriber whose number you have selected in advance.

Calling line identification restriction (CLIR): With this free option, it’s easy to show or hide your number. Here are details of how to activate this option:

(1) CLIR activation – Restrict identification of the calling line. Make sure your number isn’t displayed on the recipient’s handset. Activation: # 31 # 

If you activate CLIR, people who have switched on automatic rejection of unknown numbers may reject your call.

(2) CLIR deactivation – Identification of the calling line. Allow your number to be displayed on the recipient’s handset. Activation: * 31 # 

(3) CLIR verification – Check that the CLIR feature has been activated/deactivated.

  • Activation:* # 31 # 
  • Dial tone: CLIR activated
  • Busy tone: CLIR not activated

Available on all analogue and ISDN lines.

Activated automatically on non-public numbers; by definition, these numbers are secret, so you don’t have the option to deactivate this feature.

(4) CLIP feature – The CLIP feature ensures incoming callers’ numbers are displayed on your handset, provided callers haven’t activated the CLIR option.
