For example, if someone in your company is going to be away and needs to be reachable by phone but doesn't want to give out their cell phone number, you could assign an EasyLine number to their cell phone. 

2. Incoming call distribution. EasyLine phone numbers are also beneficial for companies with multiple office locations. Instead of a phone ringing in one office, incoming calls can be sent to phones in each office. You can do this by using auto-attendant, which will ring the phones of any employee who is designated as part of the queue or group, depending on your preferences.
