Assign phone number to a user and workspace
You can assign numbers, extensions, or both to people's devices at any time. Assigned extensions show up on phone displays. You can also configure secondary/alternate numbers so that multiple phone numbers ring the same phone. You can specify different ringtones for each number to help distinguish between which lines are being called.
