Call Forward (All Calls)
Call Forward (All Calls) allows you to forward all calls for your phone to the number
you enter. Calls will not ring at your phone and will be sent to the number you
entered as the forward destination. If your telephone has a display, it will show that
your telephone is forwarded. You can forward calls to an IP or non-IP phone.
If your phone does not have an indicator showing that the phone is forwarded, then
it will emit one short ring or “ping ring” when a call comes in to the phone. The “ping
ring” is provided to remind you that your phone is forwarded to another number.
NOTE:
If an incoming call is marked “Urgent”, then the call will not be forwarded.
Calls forwarded to an external number (7 or more digits) that are unanswered will
roll over to voice mail (if available) at that number. Calls forwarded to an internal
number (4-digit to 6-digit extension) that are unanswered will roll over to voice mail
(if available) for the called party (not the forwarding destination).
External forwarding must be supported by your system for external numbers to be
accepted. Be sure to include the access code for an outside line and the area code,
if necessary, with the external number. Up to 20 digits may be entered.
