DTI offers all standard telephony features you are used to. With our new service we can dramatically increase the number of features you can choose from.

Feature Descriptions

Authorization Codes
Some phones are restricted from dialing anything other than calls local to a campus. If the phone is to be used to dial another destination, users are required to dial a feature code + authorization code followed by the number. Authorization Codes enhance a station’s calling privileges or override calling restrictions placed on a particular line. Unlike most features, Authorization Codes are assigned to individuals, not to stations.

Billing (Account) Codes - Mandatory

Billing (Account) Codes - Optional
Allows users to optionally enter a code when making a call. This code is then output in the Sylantro CDRs.
