Out of hours

How-to guide

Out of hours settings define how your calls are handled within certain time periods.

You can set your availability for each day of the week independently. Click on the button for a specific day to access availability settings.

Available all day indicates you would like to receive calls at any time on this day
Unavailable all day indicates you do not want to receive calls on this day
Unavailable… allows you to specify a time period during which you are available to take calls

You can decide what happens to your calls during out of office hours.

Ask to leave to voicemail means callers will be prompted to leave a voicemail message.
Redirect to another user means callers will be sent to a specified PhoneLine+ user within your comany.
