Use Of Call Forwarding | Divert your Calls

We are going to quickly talk about some of the options that people have in regards to forwarding their business phones to their now home phones. This is about how to call forwarding work or how we divert calls to from one phone to another phone. As a Panasonic phone specialist for the last 25 years, lately I have been getting a lot of asks about call forwarding options on their business telephones, even some clients, non-Panasonic clients. So I'm happy to help. One of the ways to call forward is if you have a direct in dial line which means you have a number directly to your phone. It's very easy to dial at, call forward that number to your cell number or your home number. So all you got to do is find out what the code is. The Panasonic system is very easy to do. It's available? You can find those codes if you don't know, like those codes are available places. These are available if you just Google that. Of course everything is Google able. So you have call forward on a Panasonic phone. It will come right up and you'll have it right there. Great, yes we do have an article that we put together on all the various types of call forwarding.

Other ways we can do it, there's actually the newer technology, we have mobile cell phone apps. So actually it's an app on your cell phone, and it replicates your desk phone to your cell phone. It allows your, you call your desk phone and they both be paired together and ring at the same time. Does, quick question, when it does call your mobile phone, is it a different kind of number that will show up and say that this is your office phone calling, or? It's the same, if I call your phone number, your direct number, it's your extension, or your desk phone. Your cell phone will ring at the same time and the caller ID passes through. They are paralleled together so it's very transparent, and it's like you are right at your desk. Fantastic. Once you answer your call, actually your connected to the PBX that allows you to transfer calls back to the office, so you can reach another colleague, quite easily without hanging up and redialing. That's kind of a neat feature as well.

Also, now we have what we call Voice over IP technology which is the IP phones on the network. That allows us to use some other technology. One is media relay gateway which allows your phone to be transparently connected to your home network, and it acts as if you are sitting at your desk. So, nothing has to change, except you take your IP desk phone home. When you plug it in, it reboots up and it's connected to the PBX. Do you need to plug it in directly like with the phone jack cable? Yup, no, to your router. Because it's IP, it uses the network. Another very simple way is your current provider. If you are with Rogers or Bell, you can also just call forward your main line to your cell number or your home number. So, that becomes very transparent. This is an easy way to do it, because people know how to do your *92 or your *77, etc. *90, yeah. And, we'll include that on the website as well perfect, yeah, we have the step by step.

Depending on whatever provider your kind of have. Is there, of all those options, is there one that you think is probably the easiest to do, depending on, say you can't bring your personal phone to home. What's the best option, I guess? Well, the two easiest ones. The easiest one is using a line service of Rogers or Bell if you have that. If you have other service like Panasonic, we offer that as service as well. The DID, the directional number is the second, or one of the easiest ones as well. That's the one that we recommend people use if they can. Either they DID or using their line service as well. Is there a way that if anyone does need additional help, how they can reach out to you, or where should they go? They can reach out to Office Interiors through our service department.
