When you set up call forwarding, all incoming calls to your extension will be temporarily redirected to the number that you specify. You can turn call forwarding on and off at any time from a phone, or using the End User Portal.
The way that you will turn call forwarding on and off depends on the type of device you are using.
Analog phone, IP phone, Ooma DP1 desk phone, or mobile app
