Read about benefits of Simultaneous Ring and how it works.
Simultaneous Ring allows two other phone numbers to ring simultaneously, in addition to the primary line; for instance, a cellular, office number, or another residential number.
Instructions – Access from the Primary Line
Dial access code *22 to access the service.
- To turn Simultaneous Ring On or Off:
- Press 3, followed by the pound sign (#).
- To add a phone number (10 digits).
- Press pound (#).
- To remove a phone number.
- Press star (*).

You can program up to two phone numbers on your list. These numbers will ring at the same time as your primary line when someone calls the primary line. However, if you program a long distance telephone number and that there are calls at this number, long distance rates will be charge to the telephone number on which the option of SimRing is installed.
Example:
- Primary line:
- Number in Timmins
- Programmed number:
- Cell phone number in Timmins
- Result:
- No matter where you and your cell phone are (Timmins, New Liskeard, Montréal, Toronto, etc.), it will ring at the same time as your primary line in Timmins. The first to answer takes the call!
