Switchvox Call Forwarding to external number

We get a large numebr of requests to have a user's extension forwarded to their cellular phone or other external number.

Here's how:

• Log in to your Switchvox as your extension.
• Navigate to Settings -> Call Rules
• Under "Unanswered Call Rule Sets", click "Add New Rule Set"
• Type a name (e.g. "Forward to cellular")
• Save Ruleset Settings
• In the dropdown select "Call Cascade" and click "Add Rule"
• Type the phone number you would like to forward the calls to in the space provided, and click "Save".

Things to remember:

• Call Forward is only for forwarding calls to another *internal* extension. Call Cascade is for forwarding calls to a number outside of your phone system.
• You must enter any prepend for reaching an outside line in the phone number space (e.g. 918025551212) or the call will fail.
