Star Codes — Feature Codes You Can Dial from Any Phone

Star codes (feature codes) are short dial sequences — * plus digits — that trigger system features from any phone: overhead paging, one-time caller ID changes, voicemail access. Your administrator defines the account's specific codes; this page explains the standard categories.

Common code categories

Category	What it does	Typical pattern
Paging	Broadcasts your voice to a paging group's phones	One code per zone
Caller ID override	Next call shows a chosen office number	One code per identity
Voicemail access	Direct dial into a mailbox	Code + extension
Day/night toggle	Switches routing mode (authorized users)	Single code

Using a caller ID override

Dial the override code, listen for the confirmation, then dial your call normally. Only that one call presents the alternate number; your default caller ID returns automatically. There's nothing to undo.

Paging etiquette

A page interrupts every phone speaker in the zone. Keep pages short ("Call for Dr. Stein, park one"), and prefer a parked call + page over shouting a caller's business across the office.

Where to find your account's codes

The live list — with the specific numbers behind each code — is maintained by your administrator in the portal's Feature Codes section. Ask for the current sheet rather than trusting a taped-up printout from two office moves ago.
