Understanding Simultaneous Ringing

Simultaneous Ringing is a phone system feature that allows an incoming call to ring on multiple devices or phone numbers simultaneously. This enables users to answer calls from whichever device is most convenient, such as a desk phone, mobile phone, or softphone application.

Why is it Used

Simultaneous Ringing is used to ensure users can receive and answer calls from multiple devices at the same time, improving availability and responsiveness.

How it Works

Incoming calls ring on all configured devices simultaneously. The first answered device connects the call.
