Call Handling determines how incoming calls are routed under various circumstances. In the first section, create or manage your Call Handling Schedules, Call Waiting, and Do Not Disturb settings. Just below that, select and configure a ring strategy to determine how incoming calls are handled.
To access these settings, sign in to the Voice Portal and scroll down to Call Handling. For Admin users, go to Users > Calls tab.
Call Handling
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Scheduling |
Create or manage schedules to determine how incoming calls are routed during specific times. See Schedules for more information. |
| Call Waiting | Check this box to enable Call Waiting, which will allow a second call to ring through while you are already on the phone.
Call Waiting can also be managed via star code. See Call Waiting for details. |
| Do Not Disturb |
Check this box to enable Do Not Disturb on the line.
If DND is enabled but you don’t have a voicemail box, callers will hear a busy tone. If you have a voicemail box but want callers to hear a busy tone, your voicemail box will need to be removed. DND can also be managed via star code. See Do Not Disturb for details. |
Ring Phone
This is the path incoming calls will follow when the call isn’t answered, the line is busy, or the device is out of service. For each circumstance, callers can be sent to voicemail, hear a busy tone, be forwarded to another number, or ring forever.

Forward All
Working on the go and need all the calls that come into your desk phone to get to you? Do all incoming calls need to be redirected elsewhere? Forward All does this by sending your callers to the phone number that you enter here.
Info
Once a Forwarding Number is entered, this feature can be enabled or disabled from the device by dialing star codes. See Call Forwarding for more information.
Simultaneous Ring
Simultaneous Ring, or Sim Ring, will ring all numbers added to the list until the call is answered or times out. The first phone number to pick up will take the call. You can add a limit to how long the call will ring, and after it's timed out have it sent to voicemail, forwarded to another number, or given a busy tone. If you like, you can also set the call to ring indefinitely.
