One person applies a shared line to multiple phones—For example, your shared line, 23456, applies to your wireless IP phone and to your office desktop phone. An incoming call to 23456 rings on your desk and on your wireless IP phone, and you can use either phone to answer the call.

Multiple people share a line—For example, you are a manager who shares a line and extension number with your assistant. An incoming call to the extension rings on both of the phones.
