Here’s how to forward incoming calls to an alternate telephone number when your phone line is in use or can‘t be answered.
Forward calls (busy line/no answer) using Home & Away Online-Manager
Getting Started: Opening the Home & Away Online-Manager

Note:
- These options are only available if you don’t subscribe to voicemail.
- If you forward your calls to a telephone number outside your local calling area, the usual long distance charges will be billed to your account if the call is answered at that number. You will also need to dial/enter 1 before the number being forwarded to.
- Only one call can be forwarded at a time. While the line is being used to forward, any other caller will get a busy signal.
- Call Forwarding can only be used to forward calls to Canadian and US numbers.
