Call Answer

Someone is always home to answer your calls.

Call Answer service automatically answers your calls if you are unavailable or if you are already on the phone. Callers hear a personal greeting which you record and are able to leave you a message. Messages are stored for you and may be listened to at your convenience from any push button phone.


To Pick Up Your Messages:

  • In Kenora Dial 467-2900 (Res) or 467-2901 (Bus)
  • In Keewatin Dial 547-3400 (Res) or 547-3401 (Bus)

Your messages will automatically be relayed to you.
