Simultaneous Ring

Article 000002181 · Updated Sep 2, 2025 · 7,297 views
Simultaneous ring allows a user's line to ring multiple phone numbers or extensions at the same time.

This feature only applies to direct calls to the user and does not work with calls from call flows using call flow voice settings or call centers.
If you use the mobile version of NextivaONE, do not configure simultaneous ring to use the same number as the mobile device, it will cause call failure.
