Ability to Choose How Incoming Calls Are Handled When Call Waiting Is Disabled on Dedicated Fax Extension Using an ATA Device
Currently, within the RingCentral system, when Call Waiting is disabled on a fax extension, any second incoming call is automatically routed to voicemail while the first call is active. This is the system’s default behavior.
The customer is requesting the ability to customize how incoming calls are handled when Call Waiting is turned off on a dedicated fax extension using an ATA device. Specifically, they would like an option to:
Play a busy tone instead of routing the call to voicemail
Play a custom announcement
Reject the call without forwarding to voicemail
Redirect the call to a different extension or call queue
Business Justification:
For fax lines connected via ATA devices, routing secondary calls to voicemail may cause confusion for senders or interfere with expected fax transmission behavior. Providing configurable options would improve flexibility and better support fax-specific workflows.
