The extension/line is ringing for you
Could you please explain what this phrase means (and who's speaking to whom)?
Top answer
This sounds like something a receptionist would say to whoever employs her. It means that someone is attempting to call "you" by telephone. Businesses often have one phone number which customers may call, and then extensions of that number that correspond to specific employees.
