Jabber Multiline

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.

Features

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.

Get started

To use multiple phone lines with Jabber softphone, University IT needs to configure your softphone accordingly. To request configuration, use OrderIT to request the change.
