Shared Lines
Shared lines allow you to use one phone number for multiple phones and either you or your coworker can
answer the call. When the line flashes red, your coworker can pick up the call.
If you share a line with a coworker:
•
When a call comes in on the shared line:
•
Your phone rings, the line button is solid amber, and the session button flashes amber.
•
Your coworker's phone rings, the line button is solid amber, and the session button flashes amber.
•
When your coworker has a call on the shared line:
•
If your coworker has privacy enabled, the shared line button is solid red, the session button is solid
red, but the call information does not display on your phone.
•
If your coworker does not have privacy enabled, the shared line button is solid red, the session
button is solid red, and the call information (name and number, if available) displays on your phone.
•
If you put the call on hold:
•
Your line button is solid green and the session button pulses green
• Your coworker’s line button is solid red and the session button pulses red.

You or the coworker can join a call on the shared line using the Barge feature. Barge converts the call
