Forwarding Calls to Another Extension

Call forwarding allows you to redirect all incoming calls from your

Cisco IP Phone to another number.

Use call forwarding to:

Send incoming calls to another number where you can answer the calls (for example, if you are going to be working in an alternate office).

Send incoming calls directly to voice mail. Your desk phone does not ring when calls are routed to your voice mail through the call forwarding feature.

Call forwarding can send your calls to another IP Phone or to a traditional analog phone.

If there is no answer at the forwarded number, either a person or voice mail, the call will be sent back to your voice mail system.
