Calling Tasks

Shared Lines

Your system administrator might ask you to use a shared line if you:
• Have multiple phones and want one phone number
• Share call-handling tasks with coworkers
• Handle calls on behalf of a manager

Remote-in-Use Icon

The remote-in-use icon appears when another phone that shares your line has a connected call. You can place
and receive calls as usual on the shared line, even when the remote-in-use icon appears.

Call Information and Barge

Phones that share a line each display information about calls that are placed and received on the shared line.
This information can include caller ID and call duration. See the Privacy section for exceptions.
When call information is visible, you and the coworkers who share a line can use Barge or cBarge to join a
call.

• Multitouch barge allows you to view call information before barging.
