What is Call Forwarding and
How Does It Work?

How To

How to Set Up Call Forwarding with AVOXI

Setting up call forwarding with AVOXI ensures your business maintains continuous communication, allowing incoming calls to reach the right destination, whether a mobile phone, landline, or another phone system.

Follow this step-by-step guide to configure call forwarding using AVOXI:

1_access_your_account

Access Your AVOXI Account

Log in to your AVOXI account and navigate to the “Numbers” tab in the left-hand navigation bar. Select the specific phone number you want to configure for call forwarding.

Configure Call Forwarding Rules

Within the number's profile, click on the “Forwarding” tab. Then click on “+ Add New Rule” to create a new forwarding rule with a descriptive name for easy identification. Define the active times to specify when the rule should be in effect, such as during specific business hours or after hours.

Decide how the caller ID will display—either the dialed number or the caller’s number. Set the rule timeout to determine how long the call should ring before the next action is applied, such as forwarding to voicemail.

Choose Where to Forward Your Calls

In the “Forward Calls To” section, choose your forwarding destination.

Options include forwarding to an external number (like a mobile phone or landline), a specific user extension, a team, a virtual attendant, voicemail, or a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) address. When forwarding calls to an external number, enter the plus sign (+) followed by the country code before the number to maintain proper formatting.

Test Your Call Forwarding Setup

After configuring your forwarding rule, test the setup by making a test call from another device to confirm that the call forwards to your intended destination.

    • Caller Name (CNAM): This feature displays the calling party's name alongside the phone number on the recipient's caller ID.​

See our breakdown of Local Caller ID vs. CNAM for a comprehensive overview of these features and guidance on configuring caller ID settings.
