Callback

If a System 25 extension or outside line is busy when you place a call, you can request a callback. Your call will wait in a line (called a queue) for the extension or line to become available. The system will then alert you with a priority ring and complete the call.

For inside calls, use Callback when you hear a busy tone or a special ringback tone. For outside calls, use Callback only when you hear fast busy tone.

NOTE: You may hear the callback request queueing tone automatically when you place certain calls.
