Use Call Forwarding  to redirect incoming calls to an alternate number when

  • your phone is busy
  • when you're not answering, or
  • all the time.

You can program, activate, and deactivate Call Forward Always quickly using the Call Forwarding icon  even while you have other types of Call Forwarding, such as Busy External, activated through your Call Forwarding settings.
For example, you can enable settings to forward calls to your voice mailbox when your phone is busy or unanswered. Then, if you must leave your desk, you can quickly enable Call Forward Always to another phone, such as your home phone or cell. After you return to your desk and deactivate Call Forwarding Always, the defaults for busy or unanswered conditions remain active.
