Find Me Follow Me
With the growing number of people working from home or on the road, this feature enables end users to define an array of phone numbers where they can be reached so that they can receive business calls while they are away from their desk. For example, an employee may have their calls forwarded to their home, remote office, or cell phone so they don’t miss an important call. End users can easily set up their list of numbers themselves using the customer web portal with no intervention needed from the administrator or a technician.

This feature enables end users to pick up an extension that is not their own by dialing a command and the extension number.
