A. Overview

Office Anywhere is a mobility feature providing users with the following functionality:

• Receive calls on an alternate phone - Office Anywhere allows calls placed to a user’s office phone to ring any phone(s) set up with the feature. Most users designate their mobile phone as their “Office Anywhere phone.”
• Place calls from an alternate phone - users can place calls that display the outbound caller ID of their desktop phone from their Office Anywhere phone.
• “Push” and “pull” active calls between desktop and mobile phones - when on an active call using a desktop phone, users can push that call to their Office Anywhere phone. Conversely, while on an active call on a designated Office Anywhere phone, users can pull the call to their desktop phone.
• Place long distance and international calls from an alternate phone - when users place long distance or international calls from an Office Anywhere phone, usage is tracked and reflected on the Virtual Communications Express invoice just as any other toll calls would.

Users can manage the Office Anywhere feature on the My Phone dashboard: https://businessdigital.verizon.com/myphone/.

Note: This feature is referred to as “Anywhere” on the My Phone dashboard.

Once the designated Office Anywhere phone is set up, to place and receive Office Anywhere calls users must first dial the Office Anywhere number. Administrators can change the Office Anywhere settings as needed.
