If you are not able to get to work and are working from home or on the road, you may want to temporarily forward your phone number to your cell phone or to another number at your company. This is very easy to do.
*** You must be the Owner of the number to do this yourself. If you are not, your account Admin can make this change for you, or you can call Press8 support. ***
Here are the steps to forward your calls in the control panel:
First login to your control panel at: https://manage.press8.com.
Go to Devices and numbers/Numbers
Find the number you want to forward and click on it.
Scroll down to the Route calls to: section and find the Temporary override setting.
Change Temporary override from Default destination (overridden by caller and time routes) to Specific number.
In the Number field that appears, type the number you want to forward to without any dashes or spaces and including the area code.
Click Save.
Be sure and test this once you have saved it to be sure it is working.
To Switch it Back to Normal:
Be sure and TURN IT OFF when you are back in the office so calls will go back to ringing your office phone. To turn it off, go through the same steps but the last step is to change Temporary override back to Default destination (overridden by caller and time routes) and then click Save.
