Sim Ring

Simultaneous Ring Personal allows you to list up to 10 phone numbers or SIP-URI addresses you would like to ring in addition to your primary phone when you receive a call. This feature is helpful when you are not at your phone but you would like your cell phone to ring when you get a call. You can also turn off simultaneous ring when you are at your desk on a call. The criteria for each Simultaneous Ring entry can be a list of up to 12 phone numbers or digit patterns, a specified time schedule, and a specified holiday schedule. All criteria for an entry must be satisfied for the call to enter Simultaneous Ring (phone number and day of week and time of day). If the criteria do not match, the call continues as if this service was not turned on. Warning: if your cell phone or other phone has voice mail that picks up before your office voice messaging picks up, your voice mails could be on your cell phone messaging system!

You use this page to have incoming calls ring at your phone number (or extension) and ring other phone numbers or SIP-URI addresses at the same time. You can enter up to ten other phone numbers (or extensions) or SIP-URI addresses. You can also specify the criteria that must be satisfied for the phone numbers on your list ring simultaneously. The calls ring at all of the numbers on your list (for this service), as long as the lines are not busy, and the calls satisfy the criteria you specified. The call is answered by the user (at the number) who picks up the call first.

You can enter any complete phone number, extension, or SIP-URI address that is allowed in your Outgoing Plan.

If you enter a mobile phone number that has voice mail service, you must set the number of rings (before the voice mail service answers) for more than three rings. Some mobile phones have slower location and connection services, which may delay the simultaneous ringing of the mobile phone before the voice mail service answers.

You can enter any number of criteria entries. When you do not specify any criteria, you apply the feature to all calls all the time.

The operation of this service can be affected by other services such as Call Forwarding Always, Call Forwarding Busy, Call Forwarding No Answer, Call Forwarding Selective, and Voice Messaging.
