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.
