You may want to stop the TBB line from ringing at certain times. You may also have an Alternate Number in a different time zone and would like to restrict unwanted calls at obviously different hours.

To prevent your TBB line from ringing, for example, between 23:15 and 06:30 everyday, set the Default or Specific Treatment as follows (requires two ACTIONS in this ORDER):

  1. ACTION 1: FWD to VM ( or Virtual Ring)
    Start Time 23: 15
    End Time 24: 00
    Everyday

  2. ACTION 2: FWD to VM ( or Virtual Ring)
    Start Time 0: 00
    End Time 6: 30
    Everyday

SAVE IT.

NOTE: Reversing the order of the ACTIONS above will not not let you save it; it will generate an error message if not created in the order specified.

If you have problems creating TIMED ACTIONS as above, please Post details in the MyTBB Forums. In some cases, you may have to contact TBB Tech Support to reset this feature on your account.


With the Default Call Treatment, ALL calls will be treated likewise. If you may want certain specific numbers, with their own Call Treatment, to ring through to the TBB line and then go to VM without going to another number in-between:

  • Create a new FMFM list and set the Name to something like "Do Nothing".

  • Set the Ring Option to Sequential or RingAll - it does not matter for this example.

  • Save the FMFM "Do Nothing" list, but do NOT add any phone numbers to it.

  • Create Call Treatments for each of the specific numbers which will ring the TBB line at all times. In each Treatment, set the Default or Timed Actions to "FMFM" the "Do Nothing" list.

    Used as configured above, the Specific Numbers will ring your TBB line as usual and then go straight to VM. All other calls get the VM or Virtual Ring between the times specified.
