Set Simultaneous or Sequential Dial
Use the Call Handling setting to designate multiple numbers for receiving incoming calls all at once (simultaneous), or one at a time in order (sequentially).
- Select the menu icon ⋮ in the bottom right (iOS) or upper right-hand corner (Android).
- Tap Call Handling.
- Choose your desired Call Handling setting.
- Sequential Ring: Rings the primary MultiLine application and then ring each number one after the other listed in the Add Number list.
- Simultaneous Ring: Simultaneously rings all telephone numbers listed in the Add Number list, including your MultiLine number. The first phone to pick up receives the call.
- Tap Add Number to add numbers to the Add Number List.
- This is the list of numbers that is used by Sequential or Simultaneous ring. The maximum is 10 numbers.
When you leave the menu your settings will automatically apply.
- If you have Do Not Disturb or Business Hours settings applied, these rules apply first and your calls will go to voicemail instead of going to the numbers in the Call Handling list.
- The call will show as a "Missed Call" for any parties that did not pick the call.
