Administrators can control user settings for any extension in the account. Non‑administrators have more restricted access, to prevent accidental or unauthorized changes to the account.

Every extension needs a unique name and an extension number associated with it. Users, groups, auto attendants, fax inboxes, ACD queues, and/or meet me conferences can all be assigned unique extensions allowing you to get most from your phone system’s features.

These tips should get you started with Halloo! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us.
