Call Forwarding Off Premise

There are many reasons that you may choose to forward your calls off premise – to a remote office, your home or a mobile device.  Below are instructions for forwarding calls to an off-premise number for the primary systems offered by CSII.

Carrier Call Forwarding

Many times it may make sense to forward all incoming calls before they reach your premise-based phone system at all. For those instances, you can take the following steps:

1. Dial star-seven-two (*72) from your landline phone and wait for a dial tone. This is the call forwarding star code for most common carriers.
2. Press the 10-digit number of the cell phone where you’d like your calls to be forwarded to.
3. Press the pound button (#) or wait for a response indicating that call forwarding has been activated. End the call.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 if you’re not sure if the process worked.
5. If you want to stop forwarding your calls, simply dial star-seven-three (*73) from your landline telephone. Some phone carriers use different codes for forwarding and un-forwarding calls. Check with your carrier’s website for more information.
