Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a maximum amount of extensions I can add to a specific user?
Technically, no – however it may be a bit of a tracking and management challenge to have more than a few.

What are some use cases for multiple extensions?
At times a user may want to dedicate an extension to a specific type of incoming call, such as support, and/or have the flexibility to forward only one extension to a different device, such as a home or personal device.
