Whether you have a Lucent telephone at home or at the office, programming your phone to suit your needs can make calling more efficient. Formerly known as Lucent Technologies, Alcatel-Lucent creates a wide range of phone and modem products for both the home and office. Although programming may very slightly from phone to phone, the basic programming on all Lucent phones is the same.
