Getting Started with Star Codes
Whether you refer to them as star codes, feature access codes (FAC), or vertical service codes (VSC), here’s a quick short cut guide you or your users can use to access a variety of call functions directly from a phone on the fly.
*Note: Depending on your office phone service provider, these codes may vary slightly or not work for you altogether. If you’d like to learn more about our DOTVOX VoIP phone service and how you can make these VoIP codes work for you, check out our service plans here.
