How do I change an extension’s call information via IOS?
When you receive a forwarded call from your Office@Hand account, you can choose what appears on your phone. Called Number will display the phone number the person dialed. If you use your business phone for personal use as well, it allows you to identify business calls and answer them appropriately. The Caller ID option displays the phone number of the person calling.
