Multiple Appearance Directory Numbers (MADN)

Multiple Appearance Directory Numbers (MADN)

A Multiple Appearance Directory Number (MADN) provides you with one telephone number which, when called, is directed to multiple lines.

You can use a MADN to set up a sales desk, where calls to the number are directed to a selection of available lines simultaneously until one of them answers.

If a call to a MADN goes unanswered, it is forwarded to the MADN’s mailbox.

You can maintain a MADN by using BT Hosted VoIP Service Webcare.
