Tips
•If a phone that shares your line has Privacy enabled, you can make and receive calls using the shared line as usual. However, you cannot add yourself to existing calls on the shared line, and the barge softkeys will not be available to you.
•The Privacy feature applies to all shared lines on your phone. Consequently, if you have multiple shared lines on your phone and Privacy is enabled, coworkers will not be able to view or barge calls on any of your shared lines.
Tracing Suspicious Calls
If you are receiving suspicious or malicious calls, your system administrator can add the Malicious Call Identification (MCID) feature to your phone. This feature enables you to identify an active call as suspicious, which initiates a series of automated tracking and notification messages.
