About company numbers
Company numbers are phone numbers that can be used by groups of users. Administrators can assign regular features such as call waiting, ring back when free and distinctive ringing to company numbers. Company numbers can also be assigned advanced features such as hunt group, auto-attendant or call queue. A company number can be set as a main number to be used for calls outside of the company.
