# To exit

Exit and return to dial tone

Rather than hanging up after a phone call, customers can press the "#" button and be returned to dial tone in order to make their next call. Just prior to dial tone, however, there is a brief "Last Call" recording which states both the cost of the previous call as well as the amount of credit remaining in the customer's account. With Star Services, these "Last Call Cost" and "Account Balance Remaining" statements can be disabled by the Residential customer.

It is important to note that many answer phone services which our customers may reach utilise the "#" key in order to offer local PBX services (e.g. "Press "#" to leave a message."). In these cases:

	1.Enter "" after* the destination number and before you hear ringing tone (be quick)
	2.Press "#" for at least 2 seconds to get back to the FT dial tone.

When this extended 2 second hash tone is picked up by First Telecom, the customer is returned to dial tone. If the tone is less than two seconds, the # tone is sent as normal.
