Tips

•When you barge a call, other parties hear a beep tone announcing your presence. With cBarge, other parties hear a brief audio interruption and the phone screen changes to display conference details.

•If a phone that is using the shared line has Privacy enabled, call information and barge softkeys will not appear on the other phones that share the line.

•You will be disconnected from a call that you have joined using Barge if the call is put on hold, transferred, or turned into a conference call.
