Please allow call forward to another Fongo number

Post by sukasem »

Hi,
I know this has been post many times.
I think this feature should be allowed for PAID customer (VOIP unlock key purchase).
I'm thinking about porting 2 more numbers to Fongo but this feature blocked is stopping me to do so. Since I need to be able to forward call to other numbers when I'm not available. Please, I hate Vbuzzer but without this feature I can't do anything.

Thank you,
Sukasem

As far as I know, this is currently supported.

I went into my home phone account and set it to forward to my softphone # on my pc without any problems. The issue I'm having is trying to forward to a # from two different accounts, that can't be done.

Fwd the one acct to the other acct in daisy-chain fashion to overcome this. May not be practical in all applications, but it is one way to overcome the currently imposed limitation.

Doesn't work for me - whenever I try to forward my freephoneline to another I get a message "This number already in use as a follow-me number by someone else". I have even tried setting up a new freephoneline number (never used before) and was unable to forward my existing freephoneline number onto this new number.

could it be that you can't forward to a ATA (purchased) number, or could there be some other limits on forwarding?
