Disabling/Deactivating Services
You can disable services handled locally by the phone in one of two ways:
• Clear the star code in the Vertical Service Activation section above
• Disable the service in the Phone tab ”Supplementary Services Parameters” section on
page 89 section
Note that if a service is enabled in the Phone tab but cleared in the Regional tab, the service can
still be enabled/disabled by the end- user from the phone LCD or the web UI.
If a service is disabled, the soft button associated with that service is hidden on the LCD. Also,
any menu item associated with a disabled service is preceded with an exclamation mark (!) .

Vertical Service Announcement Codes
Vertical Service Announcement Codes allow the network to play a service announcement
when a Supplementary (Vertical) service is activated by the phone (for example, when a user
activates call forwarding in the phone, the phone calls a specific number for the announcement
server to play a message "All your calls will be forwarded to the number 555-555-555").
SPA9x2 phones support all services that can be activated on a phone (call forward, do not
disturb, and so on). Vertical service announcement codes apply only when the user dials the
corresponding star code.
