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.

Preventing Others from Viewing or Barging a Shared-Line Call

If you share a phone line, you can use the Privacy feature to prevent others who share the line from viewing or barging (adding themselves to) your calls.
