How to Set Call Forwarding on a Yealink phone

If you or an employee needs to step away from your phone but still need to receive calls, you can set a forwarding rule on your desk phone to route calls to your cell phone. 

Resolution

These are the steps to resolve

1. On a Model Yealink phone, you can hit the Menu, button. Then Features and the first option will be Call Forward. Select this.
2. Select the first option, Always Forward.
3. On the first line, set Always Forward to enabled by selecting left or right on the directional keys.
4. On the second line, Forward to, you will enter (for a cell) your 10-digit telephone number.
   1. If you are forwarding your phone to another office extension, enter the desired extension.
5. Then hit the Save button. A popup screen will say "Saving Config File!" and return you to the Call Forward menu. Your forwarding rule is now set.
6. To remove the forwarding rule upon your return to your desk, follow directions 1 through 3 and set the first line to disabled and save.

Note: This is also a good place to check if an extension appears to be unable to receive calls.
