FAQs:
What is a Paging Only group?
- A Paging Only group is a collection of paging devices and/or desk phones that can receive a paging call. A Paging Only group also allows real-time announcements to be made to multiple desk phones and/or overhead paging devices. Typically, a paging group is designed to maintain communications coverage in certain areas of a building (e.g. “Warehouse” or “2nd Floor”). Paging Only groups have an assigned extension, but cannot receive or originate voice calls.

However, you can page a group from mobile devices and Softphone by dialing DTMF (Dual-tone multi-frequency signaling) code *84 and a paging group number. Note:You need to enable the VoIP Calling mode on your mobile device in order to use Paging.
What is difference between Paging and Intercom?
