[SIP] Call Forward* { on Busy ; No Answer ; Always }

Improving SIP Support for Ring shared news about the Call Transfer feature.

Please add the following:

  • Call Forward on Busy: Forward all calls if you are on the phone to a number of your choice. Standard call rates may apply.
  • Call Forward No Answer: Forward all unanswered calls to a number of your choice. Standard call rates may apply.
  • Call Forward Always: Forward all calls to your SIP (VoIP) phone number to another number of your choice. Standard call rates may apply.

image The idea for this feature (which also shows icons in the image above) came from https://www.exetel.com.au/phone/voip-features

Difference Between Call Forward and Call Transfer

Call Forwarding

Call forwarding allows you to send all your incoming calls to another landline or cell phone number. Call forwarding overrides the ability to answer the phone forwarded from the original line. This service requires a subscription through your phone service provider and may incur an additional monthly fee.

Call Transfer

Call transfer allows you to send a call from one phone to another telephone without the need to disconnect the phone call. This feature is usually activated by the push of a button followed by dialing an extension.

Thank you
