Hi there,

Is like to show "wake up call" on the phone display when I dial *68.

I tried to place it into the phonebook but since there is a "*" in the code, I can't add a name in the phonebook.

Does anyone know a workaround?

Thanks,

Joe

What if you changed the Asterisk code *68 to something else like 550 (anything without a * or # as the first digit) and enter that in the Phonebook. Might be worth a try.
 
I had a look at my system (release 4.5) and there is a Wake up Call page where you are able to put in whatever you want to display on the phone set receiving the call. I changed mine to say several different things and it worked fine every time.
 
I did this on a 4.0 UCx and can change the "Wake Up Caller ID" to state a different message for each Scheduled Wake Up Call created from the GUI. Works fine.....

Hey thanks for the help guys....

I am going to try changing the feature codes for the wake up calls to a non * feature code such as 668 or something like that, update the phonebook to show "Wake Up Call" when dialing 668 and then when a user dials the wake up call, they will see the words Wake Up Call on the phones display when they are placing the wake up call.

Thank you,

Joe
