Tips

If the phone that shares your line has Privacy enabled, you can make and receive calls using the shared line as usual.

The Privacy feature applies to all shared lines on your phone. Consequently, if you have multiple shared lines and Privacy is enabled, coworkers will not be able to view or barge calls on any of your shared lines.
