Ring Groups

Overview

A Ring Group allows incoming calls to ring multiple extensions simultaneously so that any available member can answer.

This is ideal for teams where multiple users can handle incoming calls, such as sales or support departments.

How Ring Groups Work

  • A DID is routed to a Ring Group
  • All assigned members ring at the same time
  • The first person to answer takes the call
  • If no one answers, the call can be sent to voicemail

Supported Member Types

You can include the following in a Ring Group:

  • Devices
  • Call Forwarding entries

Creating a Ring Group

  1. Navigate to Ring Group
  2. Select Add New Ring Group (Tab)

Configuration Fields:

Group Name

  • Assign a descriptive name
  • Example: “Sales Team” or “Front Desk”

 Caller Announcement

Best Practices
