Privacy and shared lines
If you share a phone line, use the Privacy feature to prevent others who share the line from viewing or barging (adding themselves to) your calls.
Tips
•If the phone that shares your line has Privacy enabled, you can place and receive calls with 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 cannot view or barge calls on any of your shared lines.
