Via Office Phone:
This must be done while on campus. Select your line and press “Forward all” on your on-screen display. Next, enter the number you want to forward to starting with “91”. (For example “91-555-555-5555”). For more info:

Via Webex: VPN required for performing this from off-campus
Under “Settings ->Calling”. You can add and save the number you want to forward to. (This number will automatically save with the “91” prefix added, which is necessary for forwarding calls outside the college). Whenever you wish to forward your phone all you have to do is to change the “Do Not Forward Calls” dropdown selection to the phone number you’ve added. For more info:
