Question About Extensions

Quick question from a newbie who has little clue what’ flying here,

 

I’m currently transitioning from Unitel and want to confirm whether our previous phone setup can be replicated here.

With Unitel, we had 2 actual phone lines and an auto receptionist with options/extensions 1–5. We also had what I would describe as internal extensions (e.g., 101, 102, 103).

These internal extensions did not require separate phone lines. Each could have its own voicemail box, call recording, and call-forwarding settings. Calls could be routed to these extensions either directly through the main phone system or when someone selected one of the 1–5 auto-receptionist options and the initial call was not answered.

During onboarding, I was told that we may need a separate line for each of these internal extensions. Is that necessary, or can we set it up similarly to Unitel, where we maintain only 2 main phone lines but have multiple internal extensions with their own voicemail, recording, and forwarding capabilities?

 

Additionally, one of my employees mentioned a beeping sound throughout the call, anyone else have that? It was on their end, not the customers
