Is there a list of codes some place and what they do? Like *99, *67... block caller-id etc?

This list may disappoint you, but here's the stuff I know about:

Call Return:
*69

Transfer a call:
<flash>, #90, Phone Number, #, <hang up>

Caller ID Block:
*67

Something to do with data?:
*99

Repeat Dialing:
After a busy signal, #5 <hang up>

Voicemail:
*123

Add #92 for 3-way calling.

I've successfully made dozens of 3-way calls without dialing the #92 before dialing the second number. Any idea what it is there for? I've always dialed 1st party, hit flash, dial second party, hit flash, viola! 3-way call. Hmm. Learned something new.

hrmm.. doesn't work:

Activating Repeat Dialing is easy and will last for 30 minutes. When you hear a busy signal:

1. Press #5
2. Hang up when you hear a beep tone.

I hear no beep tone.

me neither...but again if my memory serves me correctly, the Vonage instructions also mentions this option is not available in all areas.

I don't understand how this is a "service specific" issue? Guess some how Vonage connects to the network and polls the number.. would be nice if it did SOMETHING to let you know it didn't work.. or is this one of those things that "works" but no one can get it to work anywhere?

For Repeat Dialing to work you have to first HANG UP when you hear the busy signal. Then pick up the receiver and hit #5. The only reason I know this is because I emailed dslreports@vonage.com and told them that my repeat dialing didn't seem to be working. I told them I was getting a busy signal, hitting #5, and not hearing the beep. They responded and said you have to hang up first then enter the key sequence. I wrote back and said they may wish to edit the books that ship with the PAP2 (and their website as well)! Smile

Hope this helps.

I tried it for the first time today, and did not have to use #92. Perhaps that was for an older firmware revision of the Linksys adapters... (?)
