Call Forward
Call Forward allows you to forward calls from any line on your phone to another number.
There are two types of call-forwarding features that your system administrator may set up on your phone:
Unconditional call forwarding (Call Forward All)Applies to all calls that you receive. You can set up
Call Forward All directly on your phone for any line. To set up Call Forward All remotely, go to the
Self Care Portal.
Conditional call forwarding (Call Forward No Answer, Call Forward Busy, Call Forward No
Coverage)Applies to certain calls that you receive, according to conditions, and is set up from the
Self Care Portal.
When forwarding calls from your phone:
Enter the call forward target number exactly as you would dial it from your phone. For example, enter
an access code or the area code, if necessary.
Call forward is phone-line specific. If a call reaches you on a line where call forwarding is not enabled,
the call rings as usual.
Your system administrator can set up other call-forward options that do the following:
Allow calls placed from the call forward target number to your phone to ring through, rather than
be forwarded.
Prevent you from creating a call-forward loop or exceeding the maximum number of links in a
call forwarding chain.
