In today’s busy business market, more and more people are finding that they have to spend just as much time out of the office as in it. Whether you’re a sales person working in the field or you need to hold regular meetings with colleagues in other locations, time away from the office is just as important as time spent at your desk.
Nowadays, customers expect flexibility and sometimes that means being available, whenever they wish to speak to you. You cant ask customers to call back later… by then they’ll spoken to one of your competitors who “was” available.
Wouldn’t it be simpler if your mobile phone number was the same as your office extension? This way, when your desk phone rings, your mobile does too!
Mobile Twinning is the ability to link an external number such as your mobile, to your desk extension. So if your’e away from your desk, you can arrange for your office landline to ring simultaneously with your mobile. When a caller dials in, all the numbers you’ve set up as ‘diverts’ will start ringing simultaneously. The first to pick up, gets the call.
Twinning basically gives the freedom to use your mobile phone as a cordless extension on your office telephone system.
