The Convenience of Extension Dialing
Don't you just love the convenience of extension dialing? Now you can call anyone in your company and they're only three or four digits away, even if they are in different locations. Our extensions typically use the 4-digit model, but we also offer 3-digit or 5-digit extension dialing.
And don't worry. Everyone gets their own direct phone number direct phone number too. So you have the best of both worlds.
Why We Love Extension Dialing
Extension dialing gives you so many ways to save time and be more efficient.
- Call other employees—Just pick up the phone and dial those few digits, whether you are calling someone at the next desk or across the country.
- Transfer calls faster—Use the transfer function and dial the extension number to connect callers to the right person. You can either transfer the call directly, or tell the person receiving the transfer what it's about before you transfer the call.
- Act like one location—Even if everyone works in different locations (out of their homes, different stores, or even in different countries) with extension dialing you are only an extension away from each other. Your callers don't need to know who is where.
Our Customers Say It Best
"One of our owners lives in Louisiana and it is very convenient to check in with him with a call to his extension or transfer a call to him as if he was here in headquarters."

CFO
Tool Company
"One of the great features of 8x8 is portability. We are a conference management firm. We take a phone with us and set up at registration. Conference attendees can reach us immediately at the same number we use throughout the planning and the office is just an extension away so calls can also easily be transferred."
