Enable or disable the long distance ring – Home Phone

Rogers Home Phone comes with a Long Distance Alert feature, so anytime a long distance call comes in, you’ll hear 1 long ring and 2 short ones.

To turn this feature ON using your home phone, simply pick up your handset and dial *49. You will then hear two beeps confirming that the long-distance ring has been activated.

To turn it OFF, just dial *49 as well. The feature is deactivated as soon as you hear two beeps.

Good to know:

  • If you have a fax machine, make sure to disable the long distance ring as some fax machines may perceive the long distance call as an incoming fax.
  • Have Call Waiting? When you’re on the phone and a long distance call comes in, you’ll hear the same notification beep as a local call.
