Forward landline (‘L’ models only)
This feature allows you to automatically for-
ward incoming calls received on the landline
connection to a specified remote number,
via the mobile connection. This ability pro-
vides great cost savings when you need to
regularly transfer incoming calls from
your fixed phone to your mobile
by avoiding service provider
forwarding charges. This
feature is particularly cost
effective when your mobile
phone and the Burnside unit
are both fitted with paired SIMs (which incur no charges for calls
made between them).
You can choose to allow the locally connected phone to ring (and in-
tercept the call) before or during the forwarding process or carry out
forwarding without ringing the local phone. You can also determine
other settings to suit your requirements.
Notes:
•
When using this feature, you are recommended to always have
a voicemail facility on the mobile phone (to which calls are being
forwarded) as a fall back option, in case the network is unable to
deliver calls.
•
A text alert option is available to warn you if a call failed to be for-
warded to the mobile phone or its voicemail facility - see
for details.
Certain aspects of this feature can be controlled remotely using
specially formatted text messages - see
Controlling this feature using
for details.
