What are Phone Extensions?

Phone extensions are short, specific numbers within a business phone system that allow you to connect directly to an employee or a department in an organization. These extensions come into play when someone dials the main business number or needs to transfer calls within the company. They are set up to reflect the organization’s structure, helping to easily connect to different departments, team members, or even facilities like conference rooms. Managed through the organization’s phone system, known as a Private Branch Exchange (PBX), these systems offer features like voicemail, call forwarding and various call options.

Intratel’s phone services provide easy-to-manage phone extensions that allow callers to connect effortlessly to the correct person or department. Incoming calls are answered with a customized professional greeting and extension voice menu. The caller can dial the extension that best suits their needs, and they will be routed to the appropriate person or department.

The short internal number is a convenient way for employees to quickly and accurately connect with each other. It allows employees to customize their own voicemail and call forwarding rules, ensuring that any missed calls will be acknowledged.
