How to use Telephones and Voicemail: Call Forwarding

Call forwarding temporarily forwards all your calls to another extension of the your choice.  This extension can be a receptionist, some other individual taking your calls, or a phone line where you will be for a period of time. This feature is used when you will be away from your phone and want your calls to be forwarded a specific place. If the call isn't answered at the forwarded-to number, it will revert back to your programmed call coverage path. Always let the person who will be receiving your calls know that you have forwarded your line to their extension.
