Sequential ring

Introduction

Sequential ring allows you to create a list of up to 5 additional numbers (a total of 6) to ring in a specific order when you receive an incoming call. Specific criteria must be assigned to activate this feature. The criteria for each sequential ring entry can be calls from any number, a list of up to 12 phone numbers or digit patterns, a specified time schedule, and a specified holiday schedule.
