Billed Number Screening provides an end-user the capability of restricting collect and/or third number billing to their telephone number.
Callers attempting to place a third number billed or collect call to a line equipped with Billed Number Screening will be advised by an operator that such billing is unauthorized and another form of billing is required.
Multi-line end-users can have Billed Number Screening on one or more lines, whether the lines are billed separately or together.
Billed Number Screening by itself does not block 1+ dialing. Based on the blocking option chosen, you can choose to block or not to block 1+ dialing. If you choose not to block 1+ dialing, you will be responsible for any 1+ charges incurred.
Additional blocking features include:
For outgoing screening options see CustomNet™ or Fraud Protection.
