An Unassigned phone is an IP phone in your account that is not yet activated or assigned to a User. Unassigned phones do not have a monthly service cost until they are associated with a Digital line. A Digital Line allows a user to receive incoming and make outbound calls. Office@Hand allows you to add or order phones in advance or keep existing phones until they need to be re-assigned to active users in the future. In other words, an unassigned phone is a reserved phone in your account’s stock pile.
