SimRing

Order

The SimRing service allows up to two other numbers, such as a cell phone, office line or another residential line, to ring at the same time as the primary telephone line.

Benefits

  • Pick up your calls no matter where you are.
  • Change the phone numbers to suit you.
  • Turn the service On or Off at will.
  • Program the service to allow two other people to pick up the calls at the same time, ensuring a faster response time.

How It Works

Numbers are programmed over the phone, from the primary line on which the service is installed. A code (provided at time of subscription) is required to access the application options. The system informs you of the status of the service (On or Off) and the number of programmed numbers, if any. The user also has access to a menu for programming the phone numbers.

The following operations are possible:

  • Add: to add a new number to the existing list.
  • Remove: to remove one or more numbers from the list.
  • Review: to hear all of the numbers on the current list.
  • Change status: to turn the service On or Off.

SimRing must be installed on a regular primary line (landline) in order to work with other line types (cellular or regular). The primary line is included in the three programmable numbers allowed with SimRing.

Consult the Call Management Service User Guide (Opens in New Window) for more details about the functionality of this option.

See the "Rates and Service Bundles" section for information on monthly subscription rates of the Call Management Services.

Available where technology allows. Not available in southeastern Québec. Instructions on how to use SimRing are available in French only when instructions are accessed from a number other than the primary line on which the service is installed.
