Jabber Multiline allows you to use up to eight different phone lines within the Jabber client. If you use several phone lines for your daily tasks, Multiline allows you to leverage all the advanced calling capabilities for each line, even when you are away from your desk.

After your multiple lines are configured for use, you can:
- Select a preferred line for making calls
- View missed calls and voicemails on all lines
Multiline supports the following features on all lines:
- Call forwarding and transferring
- Conference calls
- Shared line
Limitations
When Multiline is enabled, these features are only available on the primary line:
- Call pickup
- Extend & Connect
When using the Jabber mobile application, you are only able to access your primary phone number.
