Simultaneous Ring
One phone number for all your phones, calls reach you anywhere, every time

When someone calls, all the programmed phones will ring at the same time and whichever phone you pick up first, gets the call. If you do not pick up the call on any phones then it goes to voicemail of the phone that picks up first. These programmed numbers don't even have to be Lightyear phone numbers. They can be your cellular or even work phone number. Calls sent to these numbers are treated as outbound calls from your Lightyear VoIP phone service. Here's an example of how it works... say you program your cellular number for Lightyear Simultaneous Ring. When your friends call your Lightyear phone number, your Lightyear phone and cell phone will both ring. You are in the car with your cell, you pick up the phone and you start talking. If you're at home, just pick up your Lightyear phone and don't use up your cellular minutes. It's that easy.
