Link your UB phone and cellphone

Set up Single Number Reach (SNR) so that calls to your UB number can be answered on either your UB phone or an  associated personal cellphone. Your UB extension will appear in the caller ID when you place calls with either phone.

Using Cisco Jabber?

Common questions

What happens to a Single Number Reach call which is not answered?

We try our best to direct callers to our UB voicemail under most circumstances. If you wait a ring or so and hit Decline on your cell it will still go to your cell voicemail.
