The simultaneous ring. Although this sounds like it can be wasteful or unnecessary for those of us that are locked at a desk for the majority of the day, there are times when this mobile networking technology can be extremely useful. The ability to have a call to the office be forwarded to your cell phone allows people to maintain closer contact, regardless of how on the move someone may be.
Personally, although I haven't upgraded my phone systems in a couple of years, I put to use a great service that, when alone in the office, was able to go out to lunch and still take all of the calls that I was expecting. It's a simple step, and although additional rates can be accumulated, can be extremely beneficial under specific circumstances. For example, what if you are out, your cell phone is about to die, but you're expecting an extremely important call from someone. If a Verizon carrier, you can dial *72 followed by the 10 digit number of the phone that you want to ring when someone instead had originally called your phone. This technology is a great selling tool for communication solutions providers although it is a fairly simple feature that is often already provided by most carrier providers. (I even used this in my final case as one of the selling points of the gentleman's need to upgrade his network system). Honestly though, I put it to use all of the time when I'm the only one in the office and need to either run out on a quick installation, do some manufacturing in the back, or need to even go out and grab a coffee or lunch.
