Shared Line service enables you to have up to 6 devices or phones registered against a single Be Connect Be Connect number at the same time. When someone rings the Be Connect Be Connect number all phones/devices will ring at the same time. A great example of this is if you have Be Connect App (Softphone) and a VoIP hand dual-model mode cellphone.

Instead of having a Be Connect Be Connect number for your handset/cellphone and another Be Connect Be Connect number for your softphone – simply use the same number on both and no matter where you are people will be able to reach you. Be Connect Be Connect Shared Line is also useful in a small office situation where you have Shared Line and want it to ring all the office phones at once. Of course if you’re away from an area with internet access you can still use the Simultaneous Ring service to have your cellphone or landline ring as well.

Shared Line is enabled by default on Be Connect Service.

The maximum number of devices you can register against one Be Connect Be Connect number is 6 including your primary device

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:

You should choose one device as your primary device. In the SIP settings for your primary device enter your Be Connect Be Connect number and password as usual. For each additional device you will need to add a suffix to your Be Connect Be Connect number/login. The suffix will need to take the format of a dash followed by the number 1-5. Each device will need a different number/suffix or else the service won’t work. The password is the same for each device.

Here’s a sample/example configuration: 

• Primary Device – VoIP handset – Login as ‘092314567’
• 2nd Device – Be Connect Desktop App (Softphone) – Login as ‘0923145671-1’
• 3rd Device – Be Connect Smartphone App – Login as ‘0923145671-2’ etc.
