How to Setup Single Number Reach

Single Number Reach

Single Number Reach allows you to receive your office phone calls on your mobile phone when you are away from your desk. When a call comes in to your office phone, it will also ring on your mobile phone. You can answer the call from either phone.

If you choose not to answer your call on your mobile phone, when the caller leaves you a voice message, it will be on your office voicemail and not on your mobile phone’s voicemail.

This is a nice feature when you need to be away from your desk and you don’t want to give callers your mobile phone number. Receiving your office phone calls on your mobile phone can be scheduled so that your mobile phone rings only during specified timeframes such as during business hours only.
