Managing call forwarding on your office phone using your 7841 phone

Setting up Mobility/Single Number Reach

Single Number Reach offers additional features than the traditional Forward feature.  When you enable Single Number Reach, incoming calls will ring on your desk phone twice and then begin to simultaneously ring on your mobile phone.  If you don't answer the call on either phone, the call will be directed to your University Exchange voicemail system.  You may also set up a date and time parameter for when your calls will be offered on your mobile phone.  

Follow these steps if you want to receive incoming desk phone calls on your mobile phone simultaneously.
