Turning Remote Office on and off

You can turn the Remote Office feature on when you need to use an alternate phone, such as your mobile or home phone, as your business phone. When the feature is on, you can make and receive calls as if you’re in the office, and your office number will appear in the caller ID for outbound calls.
