Once a call forwarding is enabled, it is active until it is disabled. The following information should explain how the different call forwardings work.

 

Unavailable call forwarding acts as a fail-over whenever your line goes down. ThinkTel recommends that this be set on all numbers, so if something does happen to your line your calls will still complete.

 

All of the following services are able to be applied to hosted lines. Once the services are enabled they can be modified through self-care under Call Manager-->Forwarding.

We can apply more than one.

 

• Unconditional call forward - forwards without the line ringing.

   

• Busy Call Forwarding - Will forward whenever the line is busy (will not work if you have voicemail as one will cancel out the other)

   

• Delayed Call forwarding - If no answer, the call will be forwarded to the specified number after a certain amount of time.
  We can set from 6 - 3600(1hr) seconds. But if your line ever goes down it will forward like “Unavailable Call forwarding“ to the specified number.
  If set to 60 seconds, it will only forward for important matters. Most people hang up after 6-8 rings.
  If set to 36 seconds, it will forward when you are away from the phone. About 6 rings.

   

• Unavailable Call forwarding – Will forward unconditionally if the line ever goes down (NIS)

   

• Selective call forwarding - Is set if you want all anonymous numbers (for which the caller's number is withheld) to be forwarded to a specific number. i.e. voicemail.

   

• Find-me-follow-me (SimRing) - Will ring another number(s) at the same time that your VoIP line does.

   

Once the forwards are enabled you can turn them on and off with the following access codes.

 

For most devices # works as a dial.

 

Unconditional Call Forwarding

Enable Code *72#
Disable code *73#

 

Busy Call Forwarding

Enable Code *90#
Disable code *91#

 

Delayed Call Forwarding

Enable Code *92#
Disable code *93#

 

Selective Call Forwarding

Access Code *63
Alternative Code *83

 

SimRing

Enable Code *220#
Disable code *221#

 

If the SimRing above does not work try this one

 

Find-me-follow-me

Enable code *230#
Disable code *231#

 

Before the Unconditional, Busy, or Delayed Call Forwarding forwards can be applied a courtesy call needs to be placed.

 

1.      Dial access code

2.      There will be a high pitch tone

3.      Dial destination number

4.      Customer will hear "beep beep" then silence

5.      Rings on the destination phone.

6.      If someone picks up, the call forward is enabled. If not, repeat Steps 1-4 and the Call Forward will be enabled.
