SkyMesh Phone Features

SkyMesh offers a range of standard and optional features for your SkyMesh Phone, available for a small fee. You can request any optional features when you sign up in My SkyMesh, or when you call SkyMesh to transfer your existing landline phone service.

Standard Features

Call Waiting

Allows you to receive another call while you are already on the phone. Simply put the first caller on hold and take the waiting call.

Call Forward

Allows you to divert calls to your SkyMesh Phone to another chosen number. Charges apply for forwarded calls.

Call Back

If you are trying to call a number and it is engaged, use the 'call back' feature. You will receive a call when the person you are trying to contact is off the phone.

Call Return

Call return gives you the phone number of the last missed call.

3-Way Chat

Use 3-way chat if you want to talk to two different people at once. 3-Way chat costs 55c per successful use, plus the cost of the call charges to the two parties.

Optional Features

Voicemail - $6 per month

Allows you to have your own personalised answering service to take calls when you can't.
