This tutorial will explain the process of forwarding all calls from your BU Cisco phone to a different phone number. This will allow you to take calls on a cell phone or home phone while away from your office.
NOTE: All BU Cisco phone have the option to forward your extension to another extension but only a few of our BU Cisco phone are configured to allow your extension to be forwarded to a number outside of the BU phone system (cell or home phone). ITS may configure a BU Cisco phone to be forwarded outside of the University under certain conditions. To check if this is possible, contact ITS.
