Set up Sequential Ring on your Business Voice or VoiceEdge Select line (Answered)

Introduction


Sequential Ring
 allows you to configure a list of five phone numbers that will be alerted in sequence when you receive an incoming call. If you would like to set up a list of numbers to ring at the same time as your primary number, please read Set up Simultaneous Ring on your Business Voice line.

Before you activate sequential ring, you can configure time and holiday schedules so the feature is only enabled when you need it.


Note:
 Access to this feature may require the purchase of a Business Voice Mobility or VoiceEdge Select line. For more information, contact a Business sales representative at (800) 391-3000. Mobility lines are not available in all areas.

  • As of July 8, 2022, VoiceEdge Select is no longer available. Please refer to Comcast Business VoiceEdge for your new Business Voice needs.
