2.3.3.10 Remote Extensions
With TalkSwitch’s Remote Extensions, you can have calls forwarded directly
from your office to any phone number you choose. Your cell phone, pager or
any out-of-office number becomes a ‘Remote Extension’ of your office
system. You can choose to screen callers. If you are unavailable or choose not
to accept calls, they can be transferred back to your office (e.g. to voicemail
or another extension), or, forwarded to another out-of-office telephone
number (e.g. to a business partner’s cell phone) depending upon the Call
Cascade configuration.
For details on how to use Remote Extensions, see sections 3.3.1 and 3.3.2.
Once your remote extensions are configured, calls can be forwarded by the
Auto Attendant or transferred by someone in your office by dialing the
Remote Extension number. There are 8 Remote Extensions available per
TalkSwitch unit.
