Intercom

Do you have multiple phones on the same line around your home? If so, you’ll find our Intercom feature handy. It lets you:

  • Create intercom calls between extensions on the same line
  • Put calls on hold and transfer calls to other extensions of the same line

To Call Another Extension Using Home Intercom:
  1. Pick up an extension and dial your own number.
  2. When you hear the busy tone, hang up.
  3. All the extensions will start ringing. Do not answer, but wait for the other extension to pick up.
  4. When the other extension picks up, the extensions will stop ringing. Pick up your extension and you will be connected to the other party.
  5. If no one answers on another extension, the extensions will stop ringing after a timeout period. If the other party has not picked up, you will hear the normal dial tone.
To Transfer an Incoming Call To Another Extension Using Home Intercom:
  1. While you are in the call to be transferred, press the flash button (or depress the flash-hook) and hang up.
  2. All the extensions will start ringing. Do not answer, but wait for the other extension to pick up.
  3. When the other extension picks up, the extensions stop ringing. The other party is connected to the transferred call.
  4. If no one answers on another extension, the extensions will stop ringing after a timeout period. The caller will be cut off. If you then pick up your extension, you will hear the normal dial tone.
