Forwarding Calls to Outside # for Nortel T7316

To program the calls to go to the new location with the same extension number on a Nortel Networks T7316 phone, you will need to update the call routing information in the phone system's programming.
Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Access the programming mode on the phone system. This typically involves entering a password or code on the phone's keypad.
2. Locate the call routing configuration for the extension in question. This may be in a menu for "extensions" or "call routing," depending on the specific phone system.
3. Edit the call routing information to reflect the new location of the extension. This may involve specifying a new phone number, a new group or queue, or a new set of forwarding rules.
4. Save the changes and exit the programming mode.

Once you have completed these steps, incoming calls should be routed to the new location of the extension, even though the extension number remains the same. Note that it may take some time for the changes to propagate through the phone system, so it is possible that calls may still go to the old location for a brief period of time after the changes are made.

Usually it should unforward calls by pressing the CALL FWD key again. Check out the user manual to be sure 100%. You can download the manual here: Nortel t7316

The phone must be programmed with the target line assigned to the number you wish to have ring at that phone. This can be done with the BCM Element Manager interface. If your BCM450 is running version 6, I think this can even be done directly from the phone, but I'm not sure of that process.

To foward calls from one extension to another, press feature 4 and the extension number of the phone you want the calls to foward to. To cancel call forwarding, press feature #4 or press the cancel soft key.

You're not forwarding calls, you're TRANSFERRING calls. Try Feature 70.

Your options are...

Option 1: Hit 7 then 2 then #. You'll hear an interrupted dial tone. Then dial the number you're forwarding to.
To cancel hit 7 then 3 then #.

Option 2: Hit * then 7 then 2. You'll hear an interrupted dial tone. Then dial the number you're forwarding to.
To cancel hit * then 7 then 2.

The Nortel call forwarding (feature 4) is for forwarding the ringing and intercom from one extension to another.ex. if you were going to be working in the conference rm. instead of at your desk,with the forward on to the conference rm. extension, the calls you get at your desk will transfer to the conference rm. phone. Call forwarding through your service provider is done by accessing the telephone line you wish to forward, dial *72 (you should get dialtone reordered)and dial the telephone number to where you want the calls to be forwarded to. the party on where your forwarding the line to has to answer the line for the forward to take place. to remove call forwarding , access the line you have the forward on and dial * 73, you should recieve a stuttered dialtone for confirmation that the service is off

The DN may not be configured to allow forwarding to an outside line for security reasons. I think the default is 4 digits. You will need to talk to whomever programs your switch and ask them to allow this feature.

turn on feature 84.... turn off feature # 84

This worked for me:

Feature 4, 0 1 (xxx) xxx-xxxx
