Speed Dial 8
Speed Dial 8 allows you to set up to eight frequently dialed or hard-to remember long strings of digits that can be called with the push of a button. Users can then use the single digit instead of full numbers to place calls.
This single-digit code(2-9) is referred to as a speed code. The user can associate a phone number including 911 emergency and 611 for customer service.
There are two methods by which a user can program speed codes, through the web portal or by dialing a feature access code.
