I am looking for a simple way to forward calls unconditionally with Asterisk. We are running an Asterisk system with 10 extensions using SIP. One of our users leaves the office regulary, when she is out, she needs to be able to forward unconditionally to her mobile or collegue. I am trying to keep it as simple as possible, we use Cisco 7940's, they have a call forward option, when she uses it, "all" our incoming calls go to her mobile? Not just the calls to her extension. My Question: Does Call Forward on the Cisco Phones and Asterisk work? If so do I need to implement something into the dial plan. I have read on the wiki: http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk%20call%20forwarding Is there an updated way to do this? I thought *21* was hard coded into Asterisk? If the Cisco phones wont work, i would like her to simply dial *21*<mobile number>#, any suggestions on this? Thanks. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This can fail for a lot of reasons. I would recommend using 7940s with the native Skinny firmware and chan_sccp by Sergio Chersovani. Chan_sccp not only supports call forwarding but a lot more and only with the Skinny image, you can use all the features, the phone have. You can read a bit more at http://chan-sccp.org/ Regards, Stefan -- (o_ Stefan Gofferje | SCLT, MCP //\ Reg'd Linux User #247167 | VCP #2263 V_/_ Heckler & Koch - the original point and click interface
We use 7940s here via SIP, and CFwdAll on the phones works just fine (firmware 7.5 and 7.4). AFAICT, the only way that user would receive incoming calls on his/ her mobile is if incoming calls are sent to his/her desk phone, which would then forward those calls to the mobile. If your user was logged into an incoming call queue that used the RingAll strategy, that user would indeed receive all incoming calls on his/her mobile. Make sure that they have logged out of the queue first! There are obviously a number of other reasons that s/he might be receiving incoming calls, but that is my first guess. Are you using a custom dialplan, A@H/AMP, or something else?
