Phone features and rates
Our phone service comes with convenient call features included - plus a selection of enhanced functions you can add for just a little bit extra.
If you already have a phone service with TransACT, you can manage your add-ons in Toolbox.
All TransACT Phone plans comes with these features
Call Forward
Transfer calls from your home phone to a number you choose, with custom settings according to whether your phone is busy or unattended. Standard call charges apply for forwarded calls.
Read our user guide on Call Forward.
Call Return (*10#)
Access your last unanswered call. For just 35c, you can retrieve the caller's number (unless the number is blocked), and simply press 1 to dial. Standard call charge will apply.
Read our user guide on Call Return (*10#).
Call Waiting
If you're already on the phone, Call Waiting lets you know when someone else is trying to get through. You can place your conversation on hold to answer the second incoming call.
Read our user guide on Call Waiting.
3-Way Chat
Chat with two people at once, with callers able to leave and join at any time. You can even place one person on hold, allowing you to speak privately with the other.
Read our user guide on 3-Way Chat.
Call Back
If the number you're calling is engaged, this feature can automatically call you when that number is free. It will keep trying for up to 45 minutes and, provided you have a compatible phone, alert you with a distinctive ring when you're able to get through. Call Back costs 35c per successful use; standard call charges apply.
