Learn how to forward calls on your Cisco Wireless Phone 9821. This Help article is for Cisco Wireless Phone 9821 registered to Webex Calling.
To avoid missing calls when you're away from office or your line is busy, set the phone to redirect incoming calls to an alternative phone number.
You can use one of the following call forwarding services on the phones that are deployed on Webex Calling:
-
Forward all—Forward all incoming calls to the destination phone number.
-
Forward busy—Forward incoming calls to the destination phone number when the line is busy.
-
Forward no answer—Forward incoming calls to the destination phone number when the call isn't answered.
The icon
on a line indicates that all incoming calls on this line are redirected to another
number. You can also find the destination number near line name or number.
Forward calls
On a phone with a single line, you can directly set up the call forwarding on the line. However, if your phone has multiple lines, the call forwarding setting varies according to your administrator's configurations in the call control system.
If your administrator has configured the Feature Key Sync (FKS) on your lines, you can redirect incoming calls on a specific line to an alternate number. Otherwise, your call forwarding setting applies to all lines even though you turn on the call forwarding on a designated line.
