- There is such a secret code that works everywhere in your situation!
- You dial the phone number of your second phone line. The telephone
- company will give you a ringing tone if you are on your first line or
- a busy signal if you are on your second line. This is a little known
- feature, so don't spread the word or the phone company might
- discontinue it! ;-)
