Wave Home Phone Features
Wave home phone service offers several features, which enhance the output of a regular landline device and prove highly useful for a home-based office too. Many of these features are not available on mobile networks either. Overall, Wave Home Phone features only furnish more reasons for you to subscribe to Wave’s Unlimited Phone, with or without Wave Internet and Wave TV.

Cancel Call Waiting (*70)

Caller ID and Call Waiting Caller ID
A feature that has been around for a while, and is really useful for almost everyone. After all, don’t we all like to know who is calling before we decide to take a call?
