Call Forwarding Remote Access
Last Updated: Thu, 14 Apr 2011 > Related Articles
Summary
Use a touch-tone telephone at another location to change your Call Forwarding on your telephone
Solution
How it works: When you already subscribe to Call Forwarding on your business phone, you can use a touch-tone telephone at another location to change your Call Forwarding on your telephone.
To turn on the service:
- Dial your Access Number. (See table below. Toll charges may apply.)
- Listen for instructions.
- Dial your 7-digit business telephone number that has Call Forwarding services.
- Input your Personal Identification Number (PIN); initially 1234, 9999 or the last four digits of your telephone number. (You can change this PIN the first time you use this feature.)
- Press *72. (Call Forwarding.)
- Dial the 7 or 10-digit telephone number you're forwarding to.
- Listen to instructions to confirm or change your forwarding.
- Once you hear the confirmation (stutter dial tone), your Call Forwarding is activated.
- After each input, you can press # to speed up the process.
To turn off the service:
- Repeat steps 1-4,
- Type *73, listen for the confirmation tone, and then hang up.
Note: Call Forwarding (* 72) is the only service available through Call Forwarding Remote Access. You cannot access Call Forward Busy (* 90) and Call Forward No Answer (* 92) via Call Forwarding Remote Access. Lastly this feature should not be confused with Remote Call Forward, a business telephone feature that allows a customer who does not have a physical location/phone to have a phone number and have incoming calls to that number automatically forwarded to another number.
