Repurposing User Extensions

This article will provide a walkthrough on the best practices for adding a new user into the bvoip and 1Stream phone system.

Repurposing User Extensions

As a best practice, we do not recommend replacing users on existing user extensions in the bvoip phone system due to issues that occur, especially if you're planning to utilize 1Stream. If an extension user is no longer needed, we recommend deleting the former extension. If you have a new user, we recommend that they get a new extension. 

Making Changes

If you are needing to re-use an extension number, we recommend deleting the existing extension with the desired extension number and re-creating the extension with the correct information. 

The Recommended Path

  1. Add the new user into the bvoip Phone System. For instruction on how to create an extension, please refer to our Creating Phone Extensions article.
  2. Add the new user into the 1Stream portal. For instruction on how to create an extension, please refer to our Managing Users in 1Stream article
