What changed since this version
Updated November 30, 2023:April 2, 2024: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.
Note: We are not releasing this feature to GCC High and DoD at this time and apologize for any inconvenience. We will communicate via Message center with a new timeline when available.
We are introducing a new calling feature. With private line, users will be able to have a private second phone number that they can make available to a select set of callers to call them directly, bypassing delegates, admins, or assistants. Inbound calls to the private line will be distinguished by a unique notification and ringtone. The private line will support incoming calls only.
