# What are the abilities and benefits of the Hotline service

ℹ️**Overview**

The Hotline service is a specialized communication tool within the PBX that enables organizations to broadcast critical information quickly to users.

The Hotline service is essentially a dedicated extension that plays a pre-recorded message when callers dial it. Callers can listen to the message but cannot speak, leave voicemail, or transfer — it is strictly an information line.
