Call Waiting is a phone service feature that allows you to receive a call even if you are using the line. A discreet tone alerts you to the new caller so you can answer your second incoming call by putting your first caller on hold. Consumers have the option of answering or ignoring the incoming call but cannot connect all parties (connecting parties is considered as a conference call or three-way calling).

Call Splashing
Call splashing happens when you place a call from a public phone/payphone, hotel or airport phone and gets routed to a distant call center before it gets transferred to your chosen long distance carrier.
Your preferred long distance carrier might unintentionally bill your call as originating from the distant call center, rather than from your actual location. As a result, you may be charged a higher long distance rates for the call.
To avoid this kind of problem listen carefully to the operator and do NOT consent any call transfers unless you understand where the call is being transferred. Also, check your phone bill and make sure that the origination and destination of the call is correct.
You may file a complaint with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) through their e-mail fccinfo@fcc.gov, website www.fcc.gov/cgb/complaints.html, or by phone 1-888-CALL-FCC (1-888-225-5322).

Difference between a direct call and an operator-assisted call
If you dial the entire number to place a long distance call it is called direct dial. Dialing the phone number directly can give you the best rate on your long distance or international call.
When an operator helps you place your call it is an operator-assisted call. This will always cost more because of the "convenience" of the service. The cost of this convenience could be a dollar or more per minute for the entire call. That would ruin any savings you might have had with a good plan. Always dial your destination directly for lower rates to save money.
Never use an operator when making an international call unless it is an absolute emergency. You will be shocked when you receive the bill. Obviously for every rule there are exceptions like: collect calls, person-to-person and third party billings. But whenever possible use dial direct or use a dial around service.
When using an operator to place a call, here are some helpful tips:
The best way to place your call is to dial "0" followed by the number you wish to call, such as 0-987-654-3210. This will help make the connection faster. This method could be less expensive depending upon the carrier. The Standard way is to dial "0" or "00" for international calls and tell the operator the number you wish to call and any special instructions such as collect or person-to-person.
Here are our recommendations:
Everdial Long Distance 4.9¢ state-to-state rate, 24hours 7 days a week. 30 second initial, 6 second increments. Excellent international rates, low in-state rates. NO MONTHLY MINIMUMS or FEES. A 99¢ Carrier Recovery Fee takes the place of the 3% Federal tax.

Stop Telemarketing!!!
It is irritating for some people to receive telemarketing calls at home. There is a way for you to be able to lessen the call, the Telephone Preference Service or TPS can help you with that. Register your phone number on their do-not-call list and you will receive less telemarketing calls or calls from different organizations and charity.
Even though name removal through TPS is general in nature. You can lessen the number of calls from telemarketers from a specific company by having them place your number in the company’s do-not-call list the next time the company calls you.

90# Telephone Scam
If you receive a call from a representative or technician of a phone company asking you to pres 9, 0 and # then hangs up to complete the maintenance check of your phone – be warned! By doing this you are enabling that person to make long distance or international calls that will be charged to your phone number.
Telephone companies calling to check about technical and other types of phone service or billing problems will NOT call and ask a subscriber to dial a specific series of numbers before hanging up the phone receiver. These types of calls are made to trick subscribers into taking actions that will enable the caller to place fraudulent calls.
For business lines this scam works if you are served by a private branch exchange (PBX) or private automatic branch exchange (PABX). By doing this, it enables the person to make long distance calls that are billed to your office phone number.
What You Need to Know:
Telephone company employees calling to check about technical and other types of phone service or billing problems will NOT call and ask a subscriber to dial a specific series of numbers before hanging up the phone receiver. These types of calls are made to trick subscribers into taking actions that will enable the caller to place fraudulent calls.
This scam only works if your phone is served by a private branch exchange (PBX) or private automatic branch exchange (PABX).
If your company utilizes either a PBX or a PABX, you or your company’s telecommunications manager should contact the manufacturer of the PBX or PABX and the phone companies that provide you with local or long distance service to obtain information about the type of security systems available to protect your phone system from toll fraud.
Avoiding this scam:
Get the name and telephone number.
Inform the caller that you will personally call the phone company to verify the maintenance check or any problems with the line.
Hang up and do not dial any numbers to transfer the caller to an outside line.
Call your phone company and report the suspicious phone call and provide the details of the call.
Once verified that there is no maintenance check from your phone company, call your local law enforcement officials to report the incident.

How to get a vanity number
Locating a vanity toll-free number that spells something related with your business is not particularly difficult. Find a National Toll-Free Database online and search for a vanity toll-free number available. You can type in any combination of numbers or letters and see if you can reserve it.
Once you find a vanity number that suits you or your business call the toll-free number of the long distance carrier of your choice and let them reserve it for you. For them to open an account for it they will need some information from you like: your name, address, phone number, email address and social security number. They do that because they need to do a credit check on you and a social security number is needed for that. Although some long distance carrier will not require your social security number ID if you choose their credit card payment option.
