However, the needs may differ from one company/individual to the next. And based on your requirements, you can route incoming calls to certain employees, a receptionist, or another manager for screening, if needed. Additionally, you can set calls to ring at computers and tablets, enabling further options if necessary.

Advantages of Simultaneous Ring:

  • Forward calls to every line you designate
  • Handle calls automatic at all times, allowing you to retain greater mobility and flexibility without missing important calls
  • Enable your entire team to handle calls as they come in and accommodate varying schedules and time-frames
