Add a Phone or Device to a PBX User
The RIngLogix Hosted PBX platform supports auto provisioning of most popular phone models.
In addition, our platform supports multiple devices per User with the same extension number. This allows a User to have their main desk phone and additional phones at remote locations and or use of our mobile and web phone apps.
