Call Forwarding - Main Number - *71 & *72
Â
|
|
When call forwarding is required to be done at the main number the following has to be considered.
The DID or main number also has to be registered on an IP phone so that the user can select the account to use *71, *72, and *73. If the system gives a tariff plan error message, the Dialing Rules have to changed to accept the feature codes at the customer level. We use *% which will allow any and all feature codes to work .We also use 411 in the exceptions field in the Dialing Rules tab. It would be entered as follows: "411,*%", but without the quotation marks. When forwarding consider that if the cell phone voicemail picks up, the call will not be returned to the system's voicemail. The timeout period should be less than 20 seconds, to avoid the cell phone's voicemail from answering. If the user wishes to have the cell phone take the voicemail, then the timeout should be at least 30 seconds or longer. Please note that not all cell phone companies will send to the voicemail system at the same time. Call Forwarding on a schedule
Please note that the timeout period in the Follow Me tab will can affect whether or not the call will go to the account's voicemail. If the timeout is set too long and the forwarding number's voicemail answers, the call will be handed off to that voicemail. Same goes if the forwarding number is answered by an auto attendant. A recommended timeout period is anything less than 20 seconds. However, if the call is answered before the timeout period (by an auto attendant), the call will be handed off to the forwarded number, and the call will not go to the account's voicemail. Call Forwarding on DemandForwarding on demand requires feature codes. The following feature codes can be used to enable and disable call forwarding. To enable call forwarding you may use *71 or *72. We will start off with the following under Service Features tab. Forward Mode set to No Forwarding, and Default Answering Mode is set to Ring, Forward, Voicemail. Enable Call Forwarding
