When using call forward, be aware that

• Your phone will never ring when call forwarding is turned on.
• If you are forwarding your calls to another employee, unanswered calls will not be sent back to your voicemail. They will go to the voicemail of the person receiving the call.
• Your desk phone and Skype for Business will show Call Forwarding On at the bottom of the screen.

Delegating calls allows one or more employees to pick-up incoming calls from another account, often for handling calls received by a department's phone number. Unanswered calls are sent to the delegator's voicemail.

2. Click Edit my delegate members.

5. When you've finished making your list of delegates, click OK.
6. Important: You must select Simultaneously ring and choose My Delegates to turn the feature on.
