Useful Codes

Traditional phones only had number keypads and are limited to using numbers for most features and commands. While your phone also has a lot of “smart buttons” that do one or more things, these vary from phone to phone, so there has to be a way to work with that feature with just a number. In many cases, the only practical way. *Ext* means it works from an extension. *All* means it works from any phone or call.
