Atholl Tomlinson (ID: 000000cca6713de9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/24/2022 Different Technology has used the Buzz phone extension since it was first released when the developer still worked for our company. We have rolled it out to a number of our clients and it has worked perfectly for a number of years.
