How It Works

You configure forwarding rules in the VestaCall dashboard. Rules can be unconditional (always forward), conditional (forward when busy or no answer), or time-based (forward after 5pm to a mobile). Calls ring your desk phone first, then fall through to forwarding destinations in a customizable sequence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I forward calls to a cell phone?

Yes. You can forward to any phone number — mobile, landline, or VoIP extension. International forwarding is also supported.

Will the person receiving forwarded calls see the original caller's number?

Yes. VestaCall preserves the original caller's number in the caller ID so you know who's calling before answering.

Can I set call forwarding to only activate after business hours?

Yes. Time-based forwarding rules let you forward to different destinations during business hours, after hours, and on weekends independently.

How many numbers can I forward to?

VestaCall supports cascading forwarding to up to 5 destinations in sequence (ring desk, then mobile, then colleague, etc.) before going to voicemail.

Does call forwarding cost extra?

Call forwarding is included in all VestaCall plans. Standard per-minute rates apply to outbound legs when forwarding to external numbers.
