When setting up call forwarding for your telephone, you have several options as to the type of call forwarding you can set up. The most common configuration is to have Call Forward (Busy) and Call Forward (No Answer) active and setup to go to voicemail. When you are away from campus and won’t be around to answer your telephone, you can set up Call Forwarding (All Calls) to have all of your phone calls automatically forwarded to voicemail.
Notes:
- The telephone extension to forward your calls to voicemail is: 6789.
- You must perform these options directly from your physical telephone.
- You cannot perform these options from off-campus.
- When using the Call Forwarding (All Calls) option, you may want to place a sticky-note on your telephone with a reminder message to cancel Call Forwarding (All Calls) when you arrive back to campus.
