Increasing Paging Only group to more than 25 devices
I have a client that needs to use this feature for tornado warnings, tornado drills, fire drills, mass alerts to the company. They have 75 devices on hand in various rooms throughout the facility and need to be able to page all of them to alert individuals in the building of an emergency.

I manage RC for a healthcare organization. In the event of a code blue (patient in critical condition or requires resuscitation) we need to page at least 100 phones. In some circumstances this can be literally a life or death feature. If bandwidth is the limitation maybe implement an on prem agent to receive and pass on the page. It would also be nice if the app and Teams plug-in could receive pages.

This is a tough limitation to deal with. I used to have the ability to page 250+ desk phones and conference phones with Informacast via Cisco UCS, but we lost that when we switched to RC. Our standard enterprise-level gigabit network handled those pages without any issues whatsoever.
Today, we have a healthcare building that has paging speakers in halls and other areas but we need to be able to page into about 40 offices which will never contain paging speakers. The 25 limit seems completely arbitrary to us. -

Please figure out a way to set up emergency page feature to more than 25 extensions. Currently we have 50 employee's who need to be notified in case of emergency.
