Responsive to a call between a particular one and a specific calling/called one of the stations, a memory dedicated to the particular station is designated for a selected calling/called station special service. The directory number of the specific calling/called station is also stored in the designated memory for subsequently activating the selected service. Responsive to a predetermined activation code entered at the particular station, the selected special service is activated using the stored directory number of the specific calling/called station. When the specific station is in a busy condition, completion of the selected special service is delayed (FIG.1) until both the particular and the specific station are in an idle condition. (FIG. 1)
