Forwarding a phone varies by the set, please see below for set forwarding options and dialing instructions.
If you have a VoIP/Cisco phone, there should be a CFwdAll or Forward All button on the screen of their set (it may be under the “more” button, if you are unable to find the forward button, please let us know)
If you have a multiline Analog (Meridian) set, there should be a FORWARD button that can be pressed (if you are unsure or cannot find your forward button, please let us know). You will enter the number as instructed below, and end with hitting the FORWARD button again to finalize the forward.
If you have a single line Analog (Meridian, Aastra, Cortelco) set, please follow these instructions:
