Shared Lines

Shared lines allow you to use one phone number for multiple phones.

You may have a shared line if you have multiple phones and want one phone number, share call-handling tasks with co-workers, or handle calls on behalf of a manager.

For example, if you share a line with a coworker:

•When a call comes in on the shared line:

–Your phone rings and the Line button flashes amber.

–Your coworker’s phone rings and the Line button flashes amber.

•If you answer the call:

–Your Line button turns green.

–Your coworker’s Line button turns red.

When button is red, that line cannot be used to barge in on the call or used to make another call. If barge is enabled, you can auto barge a call by going off hook. If it is disabled, you can make another call by going off hook.

•If you put the call on hold:

–Your Line button flashes green

–Your coworker’s Line button flashes red.

When the Line button flashes red, your coworker can pick up the call.
