What is technology without a bit of spice? That's precisely why Idea thinks it right to bring to you a nice little consortium of features which really make cellular life so comfortable. Ranging from Caller Line Identity Presentation which lets the caller's number to be displayed on your receiver, to Call Waiting-Call Hold which allow you to put a call on hold while you are already speaking on one and toggle between the two; Idea takes so much efforts to reinvent and keep your cellphone constantly endowed with such valuable features. The list also includes Call Divert, Call Barring, Caller Line Identity Restriction and Call Conferencing, all designed to manage your calling ways better.
CLIP identifies the caller by displaying the number
of the caller on the handset. This allows you the benefit
of accepting or rejecting the call ; although, at times
Caller Line Identification may not appear due to technical
problems in the originating network.
This feature allows you to receive or make another call,
while you are already busy with a call, without disconnecting
it. You can receive or make a second call, by putting
the first call on hold. You can activate call waiting
by using the menu of your cell phone. You are billed
for outgoing call(s) as incoming calls are free in home
network, however in roaming both would be chargeable.
This feature allows you to have a teleconference with
up to five people at the same time, from wherever you
are. You can conference with either cellular or landline
phones, including STD and ISD calls. To make a conference
call, simply make your first call. Then put the first
call on hold and dial the next number. To conference,
scroll through the handset menu and select the conference
feature. Now your calls are connected. To invite another
person, follow the same steps again.
Please Note :
- Call Conference is a handset dependent feature.
- You are charged for the time on hold and conference.
- The originator of the calls will be charged for all
the calls initiated by him.
- To use the facility you need to activate the "call
waiting" feature on your handset.
With Call Divert, you can divert an incoming call to
another cell phone ( be it Idea or Airtel/ Essar or
BSNL cellular phones) or even a landline number ( within
Andhra Pradesh local dialing list). You can divert your
calls UNCONDITIONALLY, i.e. all calls will be diverted
by default without ringing or then CONDITIONALLY, under
the following three standard conditions :
» Cell busy
» Cell not answerable
» Cell switched off or no coverage area
You can activate call divert by using the menu function
of the handset.
(Please refer to your handset manual for details)
Please Note :
All call diverts are charged as normal outgoing calls.
Now, with CLIR you can
restrict your cellular phone number from being displayed
on the receiver's cellular phone. This means, you can
maintain complete confidentiality of your number. This
feature might not function across operator networks,
but will definitely restrict caller ID when called within
the same cellular operator network's mobile numbers.
