Phone System - Call Forwarding

This article will instruct on how to set up call forwarding.

Prerequisites

In order to set up call forwarding you must:

Have a UWS phone number
Access to the voice portal while on campus or via VPN remotely

Steps

To set up call forwarding:

Go to https://voice.uws.edu (must be on UWS network or connected through VPN)
Log in with the username and password
1. Username: 4 digit extension (ie, 2255)
2. Password: 4 digit extension twice (ie, 22552255)
Click on the three lines at the top left and select Settings
Select Call Forwarding
Click the sign to add a number to forward to (make sure to check Active)
1. Make sure to put 9 in front of your number for an outside line and a 1 if it is long distance (ie., 95032225555 or 912082225555)
Select the timeout (usually 30 seconds - this is how long your phone will ring)
Select how long the UWS extension should ring for first (leave at default 10 seconds)
Hit Save

Note: Voicemails will deposit on your personal phone. We don't have a way to have calls route back to campus to leave voicemails on the UWS phone extension.
