Because I have no idea which forum this topic actually belongs in, I'm defaulting to OT because of the larger audience.
At my new employer we have Shoretel (on premises, and no mobility router
), and I'm trying to figure something out in regards to passing on calls to my cell phone when out of the office.
Because I prefer not answering phone numbers that I don't recognize, I very much want to not see a bunch of random phone numbers ring my phone. And I don't want to resort to answering all phone calls with a business-like greeting.
Is there any way to get the calls to my phone which are forwarded from my office phone, or rang simultaneously, to appear as my office extension? That way anytime I see that phone number I know it is work related.
Any calls to the Shoretel support workgroup will display the workgroup's extension/number, so I have that set as a contact and can immediately identify it as a work call, but any calls to my direct extension that get passed on to my phone so far just display the caller's number.
