How do I use telephone numbers with different area codes in a Cloud Telefonanlage (branch capability)
By assigning telephone numbers of one customer number to the Cloud Telefonanlage of another customer number, telephone numbers of different area codes can be managed and used within one single Cloud Telefonanlage.
This enables, for example, the use of speed dials, call groups, busy lamp field, call transfer or call pickup across different area codes and facilitates the administration of different locations.
Note on billing:
Billing is still based on the customer number of the SIP trunk used for an outgoing call.
You can configure which SIP trunk this is individually for each device account. Simply click on "edit" next to the relevant device in the overview of your Cloud Telefonanlage and then go to the "outgoing calls" area.
