#322 Remote Call Forwarding

doesn't seem to work on R3

Feature 11 [ext] [speed dial number]

doesn't seem to work either


Is it possible to have an EXT forward to a cell phone for example on a R3 system?

The ACS needs to be a R6 or an R7 to use this feature. The best option would be to talk to your phone line provider and have them set up call forwarding and use a flash button on the phones.

Thanks for the reply.

Would this allow calls to be automaticly forward to an outside line if someone steps out of the office for a bit. Keep in mind, can't have the entire line fowarded, just an EXT

Also, do you know if i could just buy the R6-R7 unit and keep my expansion unit which i believe is an 308EC. Maybe prove to be cheaper and more effective which is why i ask.

Yes the 308ec works with the R6-R7, I would go with the R6, the R7 is buggy to say the least.

What you do is assign the forwarding program to the stations you want, then set up the speed dial for the cell, then program a free button with a light . When they step out all calls to that station will forward to the cell until the button is turned off. I must warn you that the system treats it as a conf call so it will use 2 line until call is over.

hope this helps
