Intro to Paging | BT Cloud Work

Paging enables real-time announcements to a combination of desk phones and overhead paging devices. It lets you connect to your SIP-based paging devices and start paging, without the need for complicated installation and configuration of analog-to-digital converters. The paging feature is compatible with BT Cloud Work Cisco, Poly, and Yealink phone models.
