Some actions also require you to specify additional information, such as a phone number or audio file. The page displays a box in the Action Data column for options that require additional data. If you select an action that requires a phone number, enter a phone number in the Phone Number text box.

Phone numbers can include Feature Access Code prefixes (*##) to activate the following Feature Access Code services: Calling Line ID Delivery Blocking Per Call, Calling Line ID Delivery Allowing Per Call, Direct Voice Mail Transfer, Speed Codes (8 or 100), or Diversion Inhibitor.

For example, if you enter the Feature Access Code for Speed Dial 8, the call transfers directly to the digits mapped for Speed Dial 8.
