to 10 additional phone numbers
to ring simultaneously each time your desk phone rings.

of your phones will stop the ringing on the other phones.

to the calling features tab.
Scroll down to Simultaneous Ring personal.
Click edit to add phone numbers and rules.

Options include ringing all simultaneous ring phones When an
incoming call arrives
or if you are currently on another call, you can select not
to have your simultaneous ring phones ring When a new call
arrives, click add to add a simultaneous ring phone number.
This is the phone number associated with the device
or device you want
to have ringing along with your desk phone.
Optionally, you can check the box
for answer confirmation if checked.
You'll receive an audio prompt

This notifies you that the incoming call is from someone
that called your office number,
not your simultaneous ring number directly.
Then click add rule.
Enter a description, then select

and to configure specific numbers to apply this rule to.

Here are a couple of quick tips.
One, this feature only handles incoming calls.
If you need to make outgoing calls from a phone
that is not your office phone, you'll need to use anywhere
or remote Office two.
If answer confirmation is not checked
and your cell phone's voicemail answers first,
the caller will be prompted
to leave a message in your cell phone voicemail.
