The Paging Group feature allows a group of phones to be paged when you dial the group’s extension number.
Pick up your Vonage phone, dial the paging group extension number, and broadcast your message. All extensions assigned to the paging group will hear the message through their phone’s speaker; however, if a person in the group is on a call, the page will not be broadcast to that person's phone. The other members of the group will still receive the page.
Only the Super User and Administrators can add or set up Paging Groups.
| Extension | The extension number can be changed to any value that is 2 or more characters and not currently in use. |
| Paging Group Name | This is used to identify the paging group in the system. |
| Paging Group Extensions | Select extensions that will be part of the group to receive pages. |
To use a paging group, pick up your Vonage phone, dial the paging group or extension number, and broadcast your message. All extensions assigned to the paging group will hear the message through their phone's speaker.
