When you aren't available to answer calls on your phone, you can forward your calls somewhere else. Call Forwarding can be set up in the voice portal or by star codes. In the Voice Portal, you can set up a schedule to forward calls during certain hours, like your lunch break.
Remote Access Forwarding
When you’re away from your phone but still want to receive calls, you don’t need to get back to your phone to set things up. Unconditional Call Forwarding, or forwarding all calls, is available remotely using the voicemail system, so it will continue to function even if there is a power outage, internet outage, or device failure.
- From a phone not connected to your account, dial your 10-digit phone number.
- When you hear your voicemail greeting, press #.
- Enter your voicemail PIN followed by #.
- Press 8 for personal option.
- Press 5 to access the Call Forwarding menu.
- Press 1 to forward all calls. Enter forwarding destination number followed by #. You will hear, “All calls will be forwarded.”
- Press 2 to send all calls to your line. You will hear, “Calls will ring your line, goodbye.”
