Is there a way to add virtual extensions? ie extension 2222 to call external number?

This may be the term. In our current pbx they're labeled 'Virtual Extension' so we could dial a number such as 2222 or 2223 for instance then this will redirect to an external number... Does that make sense?

In Accounts > Extensions, theres a number alias field - it only allows for one number, but thats where I put extension aliases

That doesn't work for me. I'm looking for simple speed dial, right now I do it via ring group which is an overkill. I know I can also do it via follow me on an extension but I am trying to figure out how *0[ext] speedial dialplan works?

Click to expand...

It uses the speed dials in your Contacts. You set up a contact and when you add their number, also add a speed dial code. Then you can speed dial that contact's number with *0[speeddial]

Thank you. That worked, although I might just use call forwarding on virtual extensions instead so no need for *0 prefix

This works for me - the extension is 701, but calling 600 also rings this extensionExtension - CD Voice_10-23-58.png

oops, missed that!

You could create extension 2222 and set forwarding to the external number.

Fine for half a dozen, but not hundreds :)

did you put "199" (without quotes) into the speed dial field in the number edit screen? And put the phone number into the number field?
