Call Forward button that includes phone number

[SUSANVV]

We have a Merlin Magix 3.0 system. We would like to be able to program a Call Forward button that includes the forwarding phone number. There are several people here that would like to have their calls forwarded to their cell phone when they are out of the office but are not that anxious to do the programming themselves. We do have a "Call Forward" button programmed that then lets you continue with the programming but even that doesn't help for some of the people here. Any suggestions on how to make it a more automatic process? I have tried using a combination of the Call Forward button and a speed dial button but that did not work either. TIA for any suggestions.

We've got a Legend, and I haven't been able to figure out how to do that either... any suggestions?

The answer is, PERMENANTLY FORWARD the Call and then use this feature of your R3 Magix.

From "Feature Interactions under FORWARDING"

When a user activates Remote Call Forwarding with Simultaneous Internal Alert (Release 2.2 or later systems), calls to the user are delayed before being sent to Group Coverage even if the user has Do Not Disturb active or all buttons on the user’s telephone are busy. This allows the external party time to answer the call before the call is sent to the users coverage arrangement (such as voice mail).

Won't work for me. If the user logs into a calling group it cancels the forwarding. It would be really nice if you could put the 'forward' and destination number on the same button...

Doesn't "Remote Call Forwarding with Simultaneous Internal Alert" require that the calls be handled over PRI facilities only?
