Turn Selectively Forward Calls on and off

If you want to forward calls from specific callers or at regular times, use the Selectively Forward Calls feature. This setting takes precedence over Call Forwarding. Use this to send calls to another number based on a schedule. For example, if you want your main number to ring to another office during non-business hours.
