Call Forwarding
4.1
Introduction
Your phone system supports a number of different types of Call Forwarding.
Immediate
(sometimes called
Unconditional
)
Call Forwarding
is where all calls are forwarded to a
number of your choice. This can either be to your voicemail (which is the default) another extension in
your business or an external number.
Busy Call Forwarding
forwards all calls that are received when you are already on the phone.
No Answer
(sometimes called
Delay
)
Call Forwarding
forwards all calls when you do not answer them
after a certain delay.
Selective Call Forwarding
forwards calls from certain numbers to another number.
The easiest and most flexible way of configuring call forwarding is using CommPortal. See Section
