How does The Stick work?
When installed on a typical phone line, The Stick automatically answers inbound calls and “listens” for fax tones and Security Access Codes (DTMF or touch tones). During this screening process, The Stick transmits a high quality ring‐back to the calling party. When the screening operation is complete, the call is immediately routed to the correct device. All this takes place in just a few seconds!
