Twinning means one and the same number rings on several devices at once, for example both the desk phone and the mobile. You answer on whichever device suits, and you miss no calls as you move between desk and meeting.
How twinning works
- One number is linked to several devices.
- All devices ring at the same time for an incoming call.
- You answer wherever you like, and the call can move between devices.
Examples of when twinning is useful
- You leave the desk but still want to be reachable on your usual number.
- You switch between computer and mobile during the day.
- You want to keep the desk phone but still answer on mobile.
- You work from home some days and at the office on others.
