What is a phone extension? How does it work?

A phone extension is a short string of digits that can be added to your main business number. Each extension has been assigned to an employee, project team, department, or even conference room. Dialling an extension automatically directs callers to the appropriate destination, saving time and eliminating confusion.

Phone extensions are an integral feature of VoIP business phone systems. Ringover’s unlimited user extensions make it easier than ever to route calls, maximise productivity, and empower your customer experience.

Good experience in general, professional as a company, I am satisfied.

N.B.

Positive experience with Ringover which I use on the PC and with the application on the iPhone. We have been using Ringover for a few months in our company and it is generally going well. There is one small issue with my PC headset that needs to be resolved, but the customer service is quite responsive. Ringover is a good solution for small companies.

Youssef C.

Very satisfied as a freelancer I can control everything without going through an IT.

Nacéra B.

I use Ringover for my job. The tool is very easy, intuitive and convenient to use on a daily basis. As an administrator, I can easily filter according to the lines used for the study of statistics. Finally, the technical support is very reactive and efficient to answer my questions to perfect my use or during incident reports. I recommend it.

Nicolas T.

The Ringover phone application stands out for its impressive efficiency. Its dialer is particularly notable for its ease of use and high reliability.
In addition to these features, the application offers a complete call list, a fast call forwarding function, a powerful switchboard and the ability to send SMS and quick text messages. It also has an internal chat function, a powerdialer (automatic call) as well as external messengers such as messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram, mail and Google avis. All of these features make Ringover an extremely complete and highly reliable application.
