Are you trying to use these features in * or on the line?

This sounds like you are subscribed to these services via your telco -- this 
means you need to flash the line, not your phone.  To do something like that 
I imagine you'd have to hit # or hookflash your phone and then have dialplan 
logic in extensions.conf which would Flash() the proper Zap line.

Doesn't sound easy but I've never done it myself.
