Firstly, you must define call forwarding conditions for the extension. You have to select one of the following propositions:

  • Always forward: Calls are immediately forwarded.

  • Ring both number and extension: Calls are directed to the extension and the call forwarding number.
  • When caller presses 1: Calls are forwarded after the time set in the Ring for field only if the caller presses 1.
Destination

Once the conditions have been set for call forwarding, you can specify whether the call should be forwarded to an external number (mobile phone number, for example) or to an extension (internal number).

When External number is selected, a box appears in which you must enter the phone number you want your calls forwarded to.

Caller ID settings

This option allows you to change the caller ID for this extension. Therefore all the outgoing calls made from this extension will show the information entered, it will no longer have the default information (usually the name and main number of your company) setup for the account. To do so, you need to enter the name and select the number in the list. Please note that the name must have maximum 15 characters and that the accents and any other special characters might not show properly on certain phones. We strongly recommend you not to use them.

Warning: It is compulsory to have a name AND a number, if not the system will not use the information. If you do not have a name you may enter numbers in the Name field.

Tick the box allows you to hide the caller ID of this extension at all times. All outgoing calls will be done under Unknown/Confidential.
