Call Forwarding

Call Forward redirects incoming calls to your voice mailbox (by default) or to an alternate number. Choose from the following Call Forward options:

  • Call Forward – Always: redirects all incoming calls
  • Call Forward – No Answer: redirects calls if you don’t answer after the programmed number of rings (1 – 10)
  • Call Forward – Busy: redirects calls when all lines are busy.

All Call Forward options are OFF by default. You can turn on Call Forward No Answer and Call Forward Busy at the same time.

Note: You cannot change your Call Forward settings while on a call.
