 Immediate (sometimes called Unconditional) Call Forwarding is where all calls are
forwarded to a number of your choice. This can either be to your voicemail (which is
the default) another extension in your business or an external number.
 Busy Call Forwarding forwards all calls that are received when you are already on
the hone.
 No Answer (sometimes called Delay) Call Forwarding forwards all calls when you do
ot answer them after a certain delay.
 Selective Call Forwarding forwards calls from certain numbers to another number.
The easiest and most flexible way of configuring call forwarding is using CommPortal.
