Restrictions on loudspeaker paging

Last Updated : Oct 30, 2012 |

These restrictions apply to both voice, deluxe voice, and chime paging:

  • A paging call cannot be placed on hold, included in a conference call, or transferred. Also, ringback queuing does not work with loudspeaker paging calls either.

  • Users with any of the following restrictions cannot page:

    • Controlled restriction

    • Manual originating line service

    • Origination restriction

    • Miscellaneous trunk restriction

  • A user with a single-line telephone does not hear a call-waiting tone if the user gets a call while paging.

  • Listed Directory Number (LDN) and Direct Inward Dialing (DID) calls cannot access the paging system. However, attendants can park incoming calls and page.

  • Remote users (such as remote access users and tie-trunk users) who are paging cannot use # to park calls on their own extensions.
