Calling User Portal – Hoteling

Introduction

Hoteling enables a user’s phone profile (number, features, and calling plan) to be temporarily loaded onto another phone. This feature is called Hoteling, which has two parts — Hoteling Host and Hoteling Guest — that work together to allow you (guest) to use specific phones (hosts) by temporarily logging into and using them as their own phone.
