Allow Limited extensions to call paging groups
In our buildings we have a handful of full user phones but most are shared house phones using limited extensions. In an emergency it would be helpful to be able to call a paging group from a limited extension, At present Ring does not allow this.

Being in a medical facility this is critical to alert all staff from any phone of code blue (patient stopped breathing) code red (fire) among many other codes.

It doesn't make any sense that a limited extension can't be allowed to call a page group, its "on net"!

Allow limited extension in pickup groups and call groups. We have several phones in areas just for access so they don't need full licenses.

This should be moved up the list. As of now, you have to have a user phone (more expensive license) to page. Here is the problem with that: User phone requires an account but there is not users for phone mounted in hallways for emergencies so I would have to create generic unique user account which is another added cost for a unique email account. Makes zero since.
A limited extension should be the right choice for those phone in areas like hallways for emergencies (even more so in a medical office like ours) but the most basic of features have been removed making limited extension useless. Almost sounds like money grab which is not right. If basic tasks like this are not available, it may be time for a new VOIP provider at the end of our term.
