customer originated trace

This feature lets you track harassing callers through the phone company.

To Trace a Call:

1. Before hanging up, depress the switchhook.
   
   
2. You will hear a special dial tone. (If you have already hung up, just pick up your headset before another call comes in. you will hear the normal dial tone instead of the special dial tone.)
   
   
3. Dial *57 (on rotary phones, dial 1157).
   
   
4. You will receive an announcement indicating that the last call has been traced. (In some areas, you will hear and announcement indication that the last call can be traced and instructions to dial an additional code before the actual trace will be made.)

For your Information:

If you have Call Waiting and get a Call Waiting tone before you can dial *57, the trace of the objectionable call cannot be completed.

Customer Originated Trace information is recorded at the telephone company, and is provided if requested by law enforcement officials.
