Variations

Ring multiple phones during the day

If you have multiple phones that you want to ring during the day, then you would need a phone number for each of those phones and configure each of your phones to register to thise numbers. Then, instead of registering a single phone to the 'main' number, use the also-ring boxes to add the phones that you want to be rung during the day.

That way:

• During the day, calls to the main number ring all the phones in the also-ring list
  • if no answer then it goes to voicemail.
• Out of hours it goes to voicemail.

You may still want to register one of your phones to the main number initially so as to set the voicemail greeting.
