Forwarding your VoIP phone is easy if you follow these steps. Don’t make the common mistake of forwarding your phone from the VoIP phone itself.
Often times you need your phone forwarded when you are away from the office. Maybe you child, spouse, parent…needs attention and/or you work remotely a few days a week. You want the flexibility of turning your forwarding on/off from wherever you are. Forwarding from the VoIP phone requires you to be at the phone itself (Perhaps at the office) and you’re not there. Additionally, it’s hard to determine if you need to enter a “9” prior to your phone number being populated. In short, forwarding from the Physical Phone is NOT THE PREFERRED method.

Hint. If you are going to forward calls to your cellular phone, adjust the seconds your cell phone will ring to determine if your voice mail on your cell phone will answer the call if you don’t answer the ringing phone or, the voice mail on your VoIP phone system. I.e. If your cell phone rings for 25 seconds prior to rolling to your cell phones voice mail and you want it to play for unanswered calls, you will set the number of seconds to something higher. Maybe 27 seconds. Otherwise, The VoIP phone systems voice mail will process the call.
Finally, Test your results. Make certain you got it right. Mistakes happen.
