Call Forwarding

This is different than transferring a call. If you turn on call forwarding, it means all calls will either be sent directly to voicemail or sent to someone else without ringing your phone line.

Delegate

A delegate is someone who can make and receive calls on your behalf, such as an executive assistant or administrator.

Call Group

A call group is a group of people that can receive calls directed to your phone line. Once created, you can set up call forwarding to this group. Call groups can ring a group of people all at once or ring specific people in a specific order. This setting is most helpful for departments or teams of multiple people.

Auto Attendant

Auto attendants are often set up for department lines and present the caller a menu from which they can choose the correct person, mailbox, or group for their request. Only specific people have access to the auto attendant function.

Simultaneous ring

Simultaneous will make any incoming calls to your phone line ring both you and another person at the same time.
