Updating Your Status

You can update your status on your phone to allow people to monitor your status from their phones. When you update your status on your phone, your new status is visible to others.

You can update your status to one of the following:

Online

Busy

Be right back

Away

On the phone

Out to lunch

Do not disturb

Your phone also automatically updates your status information when you’re in a call, have enabled Do Not Disturb on your phone, or your phone is offline. For example, if you enable the Do Not Disturb feature on your phone, your availability automatically updates to Do Not Disturb.

When you enable Do Not Disturb on your phone, your presence status automatically changes to Do Not Disturb. When you disable Do Not Disturb on your phone, your presence status automatically changes to Online or On the Phone.

When you update your presence status to Do Not Disturb, incoming calls go to voicemail, and My Status: Do Not Disturb displays in the status bar. Updating your status to Do Not Disturb does not enable Do Not Disturb on your phone, and the Do Not Disturb icon does not display next to your phone lines.

When you change your presence status on your phone from Online to another status, the new status displays in the status bar instead of the date, as shown next.
