Tired of redialing phone numbers? Regardless of the status of your previous call -- answered, unanswered, or busy -- the redial feature will connect you to the number you just dialed. If the line is busy, redial will attempt to contact the number for up to 30 minutes. When the line is available, you will receive a notification call and will be connected to the other person.

Usage Notes:
If you are trying to reach a busy or unanswered number, Redial will attempt to connect your call every two minutes for a period of 30 minutes.
Redial cannot be activated for calls made to numbers outside of your regional calling area; calls to 411, 611, 911, 900, or toll-free numbers; or operator-assisted numbers.
Yes. You will be billed for the long distance or out-of-plan call based on the rates of your current calling plan. Please note that you will be billed for any call attempt where the called party answers, even if you do not answer the notification call.
Yes. You will receive a redial ring as each line you've tried becomes open. If you are on another call when the next busy line becomes free, you will not hear the notification ring. You should be able to switch to the new call using the Call Waiting feature.
Redial will continue to try to reach you and the number you're trying to call for 30 minutes. If you are away from your phone and unable to answer the notification ring, the call is still considered completed and the Redial request will be cancelled.
