Enhanced Features

Combined Mailbox
$5 per month
Combine your cell phone mailbox with your home mailbox and get all your messages in one place. Your messages will go to one mailbox whether the caller dialed your cell phone or your home phone.

With MTS Combined Mailbox service, you’ll never have to check your cell phone and home phone mailboxes separately again.

You can pick up all your messages from any phone.
Group Ring
$5 per month
When you can’t afford to miss a call, Group Ring is the wireless calling feature for you.

With Group Ring, you can have up to 5 MTS Mobility cell phones ring at the same time when just one number is dialed! One phone acts as a Pilot Number and triggers ringing on any of the member phones associated with it. Running a small office with mobile employees? Publicize the pilot number and ensure calls are always answered. The member phones have their own phone numbers and can still be dialed directly - the Pilot Number is the only number that triggers the group ringing!

This feature is ideal if you have an in-car phone and a portable phone - provide one number and keep the other private. For only $5/month (billed to the Pilot Number), make sure you always get the call!
Simultaneous Ring
$9 per month
When you can’t afford to miss a call - Simultaneous Ring is the Calling Feature that tracks you down faster than any other "follow-me" service.
