Call Forwarding
There are two Call Forwarding features you can activate and cancel for any
extension: Call Forwarding - All Calls, and Call Forwarding - Busy/Don’t
Answer. Call Forwarding - All Calls causes calls to an extension to be forwarded
immediately to a different telephone number. Call Forwarding - Busy/Don’t
Answer causes calls to an extension to be forwarded to a different telephone
number only if no one answers or if the line is busy. This feature is used when the
user will be away from their telephone and wants the calls redirected.
!
SECURITY ALERT:
Call Forwarding - All Calls, and Call Forwarding - Busy/Don’t Answer are
not recommended for use to extend calls to “off-premises” sites due to the
potential for toll fraud. Reliable call disconnect from your local service
provider's central switching office may not always be possible, thus,
allowing dial tone to be returned to the caller and toll fraud to occur.
