Multi-Ring

By Nadeem Unuth, About.com

Definition:

The multi-ring feature allows you to set more than one phone to ring whenever there is an incoming call. You can have your home phone, cell phone, office phone and any other phone to ring at the same time when someone calls. The first phone picked up gets the call and the others cease to ring.

This feature is very helpful in helping you avoid missing important calls. It encompasses the call forwarding feature. The calls you take can then be transferred to the appropriate recipient.

Most VoIP service providers allow you to choose as many as at least four numbers for multi-ringing. The phones that ring may be local or international phones.
