This facility enables the subscriber to get connected to another telephone of his choice either at Delhi or any other outstation without dialing the telephone number. After the arrangement is made for the subscriber by the exchange, just lift your receiver and you will get the normal dial-tone.

If you wait for 5 seconds the exchange will connect you automatically to the HOTLINE number.

Once the hotline connection is established the call will be charged as per a normal call [Local, NSD, or ISD, as the case may be].

To make a call to a number other than the HOTLINE number, please start dialing within 5 seconds of getting dial-tone. HOTLINE facility is a great convenience which saves the bother of dialing the full number which the subscriber needs to call frequently.
