PennFlex Phones
Penn is currently migrating office phones to the new PennFlex platform, a next generation cloud based phone. In addition to enterprise quality phone features, PennFlex Phone offers enhanced functionality and flexibility including a mobile and desktop app so you can make and receive calls from your Penn phone line from anywhere.
PennFlex Migration
All Penn Carey Law phone lines/handsets should be migrated to the new PennFlex system. You can learn more about the PennFlex phone migration in our migration guide. Penn Carey Law fax lines will be migrating to a similar service in 2023.
