Forwarding your calls
If you will be away from your office and would like to forward your calls to another extension or directly to voice mail, follow the instructions below.
Forward your calls using an ITE 4 phone
- Lift handset
- Press *3 (hear confirmation tone once)
- Dial the extension where calls are to be forwarded or dial 2-7777 to forward to your voice mail
- Listen for confirmation tone
- Hang up
Note: You will hear the word “forward” repeated three times each time you lift the handset. This confirms that your phone is being forwarded. You still can dial as usual.
Cancel forward using an ITE 4 phone

Call forward using an ITE 12 + or 12SD 12-line phone

Forwarding on multi-line phone sets: If you have a multi-line set, you will need to choose the line you want to forward by pressing that line and making sure that there is a dial tone when you invoke the forward button. For multi-line phones, you forward calls per line, not per set.
Note: On a multi-line set, the FWD light could be on when a line is forwarded that appears on the set. Example: The department front desk phone may have a line appearance for the department chair’s phone. If the department chair’s phone forwards her line, the CFWD light lights up at the front desk. This does not mean that all lines on the multi-line phone are forwarded; only the department chair’s phone is forwarded.
