Your extension is usually a 3-digit number assigned when your account is created. Along with your email address (login username), your extension serves as a unique identifier in the net2phone backend.

Your extension number is used for:

  • Internal dialing (how colleagues reach you)
  • Dial-by-name directory lookup
  • Call routing based on company configuration

If your extension displays Auto, it was system-assigned and can only be changed by an Admin user or a net2phone agent.


How to Find Your Extension Number 

To view your extension number: 

  1. Open your Profile Settings.
  2. Click the Company subtab.
    Success: You can find your extension number in the top right corner of the pop-up configuration menu. 
Example: Extension Number identified. 

When to Contact an Admin

You may need assistance if:

  • Your extension number is incorrect
  • You require a custom extension (for branding, teams, or role consistency)
  • You do not see the extension field
  • Your extension shows Auto and needs to be changed

Only Admins and net2phone agents can modify extension numbers.
