AKA '''SIP Forking''' or '''Also Ring'''

Incoming call routing is configured on the Control Pages. Call Routing is based on setting the 'Target' - a number can have multiple targets, e.g., can be routed to a SIP phone as well as a mobile, and multiple other numbers. Indeed, you can also register multiple SIP phones against the same number, and calls will go to all the SIP phones that are registered.

These are up to 10 other numbers that we'll send the call to. They can be other numbers you have with us, or can be any other number. e.g. mobiles, international etc. - any number which you can normally dial from your account. The charge for the call will be the same as if you were dialling the call normally from your account.
These are up to 10 other numbers that we'll send the call to. ie, one number can ring multiple other numbers, and can have optional delays to each target.

These could be:
*Other numbers you have with us
*Any other number. e.g. mobiles, international etc. - any number which you can normally dial from your account.


The charge for the call will be the same as if you were dialling the call normally from your account.
Note that we have no way of telling the difference between external calls going to voicemail as opposed to getting answered. You probably want to avoid having voicemail enabled on numbers which are used by Also Ring, or you may find your voicemail answers calls unexpectedly.


This feature can be used to make your ''main number'' ring multiple staff phones.
