User Features
Voicemail Greetings
You can customize multiple voicemail greetings, specify which greeting should be active, and assign different greetings to play when you are unavailable versus on the phone.
Organized Phonebooks
You can create and manage multiple phonebooks, to keep your contacts organized. You can also see each contact's 'Additional Numbers' that they publish, and create and modify your own additional numbers for them.
Additional Numbers
You can set up your own 'Additional Numbers' so that co-workers can easily call you at the numbers you publish (your mobile phone, or an extension on the manufacturing floor)
Call Queue Improvements
You can log into, out of, and pause your status on each queue. When you pause your status, you can add a comment to let people know when you might be back.

A caller can record his name before entering a conference room. Then, when he enters and exits the conference room, the recording is played.

Feature Removed
Call Queue Agent
The extension type 'Call Queue Agent' has been removed. If you have extensions of this type, you can still maintain them. However, we recommend using a 'Virtual' extension instead, which offers the same features as the 'Call Queue Agent' but without the limitations.
This includes 10 Silver subscriptions.
