How To Forward Calls On Avaya Phone

Hey there, tech-savvy friend! Ever found yourself in a pickle where you're stuck at your desk, but that important call just won't wait? Well, fear not! Today, we're going to tackle the art of call forwarding on your trusty Avaya phone. It's easier than you think, and by the end of this, you'll be a call-forwarding pro. So, grab a coffee, get comfy, and let's dive in!

Why Call Forwarding, You Ask?

Well, imagine this: you're in the middle of a meeting, your mom's calling to discuss the family's secret lasagna recipe, and you can't just pick up. Or maybe you're on your lunch break, but that big client just can't wait. That's where call forwarding comes in. It's like having a little helper who'll grab the call and take it to where you are. Pretty nifty, huh?

Let's Get Started!

Forwarding Calls Internally

Alright, let's start with the basics. Say you want to forward calls to another Avaya phone in your office. It's as simple as picking up your receiver and dialing *72 followed by the extension number you want to forward to. Easy peasy, right?

Now, if you change your mind and want to stop forwarding, just dial *73. Voila! Your calls are back to their usual routine. Remember, these codes only work when you're already on a call, so don't go dialing them willy-nilly when you're just sitting there, twiddling your thumbs.

Forwarding Calls Externally

But what if you're not just forwarding to another office phone? What if you're on the go, and you want your calls to follow you? No problem! Just dial *72 followed by the 10-digit number you want to forward to. This could be your cell, your home phone, or even your grandma's phone (but let's hope she doesn't mind!).

To stop forwarding, just dial *73 again. And remember, when you're forwarding to an external number, it'll cost you the same as making a call to that number. So, maybe don't forward to your grandma's phone if she's on a strict budget.

But What If I Want to Forward All My Calls?

Well, you can! There's a setting on your Avaya phone that'll let you forward all your calls, all the time. Isn't that just the best? To set this up, press the 'Feature' button on your phone, then dial *72 followed by the number you want to forward to. Easy as pie!

To turn this off, just press the 'Feature' button again and dial *73. And there you have it! You're now a call-forwarding master. Go forth and let your calls follow you wherever you go!

But Wait, There's More!

Did you know you can also set up call forwarding to ring your phone for a certain number of rings before it forwards? It's like giving your call a little head start. To set this up, dial *92 followed by the number of rings you want, then the number you're forwarding to. Pretty neat, huh?

And That's a Wrap!

And there you have it, folks! You're now a call-forwarding whiz, ready to take on the world (or at least your office). So, the next time you're stuck at your desk, or you just feel like being a little sneaky and taking your calls from the beach, you know exactly what to do.

Remember, with great power comes great responsibility. Don't go forwarding all your calls to your best friend's phone just because you can. That's a one-way ticket to the 'naughty list'.

So, go forth, call-forwarding hero! The world awaits your calls. And hey, if you ever get stuck again, just give me a call. I'll be here, forwarding my calls to my hammock by the beach. Don't judge, it's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it!
