Notes:
- The extension of the user is the last 5 digits of their full geographical phone number. For
any extension starting with “000”, the system will automatically replace the first or the
leading digit of the extension with “1”. For example, if the extension is 000xx, it will
become 100xx. For internal use, users need to ring 100xx to reach the users.
- The phone number of each user is displayed next to the Service details of the Basic User
Features page.

To return to the main page without changes, click on the icon located at the top right of each
