What is Call Forwarding?
Call forwarding provides the ability to redirect incoming calls from one phone number to another telephone number. Traditionally most call forwarding services will only allow you to redirect calls to one other phone number.
Talkroute’s business call forwarding offers a number of advanced routing features. Not only can you redirect calls from your Talkroute phone number to another number (mobile, landline, VoIP, etc) but you also get the ability to send calls to multiple phones. You can choose to ring these phones in a specific order or at the same time. You can even specify certain dates and times to ring specific phones.
This flexibility means you can answer your business calls wherever and whenever you want!

Call Forwarding FAQ
There is no limit to how many forwarding phones you can add to your Talkroute account. You can choose to forward calls in a specific order or ring all of your phones at the same time.
Yes. Our scheduled call forwarding feature allows you to create custom schedules for each of your forwarding phones.
Our call stacking feature allows you to receive multiple incoming calls at once, even when forwarding to single device. This feature ensures your callers never receive a busy signal when calling your Talkroute phone numbers.
Call Stacking is a unique technology only found in Talkroute. Other competing services (e.g. Google Voice, Grasshopper) will forward a call to a device (cellular, home, or office) but once the allotted number of “rings” has been reached, the call is disconnected.
Talkroute allows users to have multiple callers on hold at any given time. These callers are forwarded to your device(s) in the order the calls were received by your phone system. While your callers are on hold, they may listen to hold music or a custom message that you recorded or uploaded. If your callers are being forwarded to multiple devices, the devices that are not currently in use will begin to receive the next caller in line.
You may further specify the maximum hold duration, time between connection attempts, and call destination if the hold duration is exceeded.
By default, Talkroute displaying the number of the person that is dialing your Talkroute number on the incoming Caller ID. However, you can change the incoming Caller ID to always display your Talkroute Phone Number for all calls that come from Talkroute. This way you will know if the caller is dialing your phone directly or being connected by Talkroute.
Yes, you can route calls to any phone that has a +1 country code (e.g. U.S. or Canada) and has active service. This includes but is not limited to; mobile phones, landline phones, IP phones, softphones, satellite phones, etc.
No. You can forward calls to any combination of phones and service providers. For example; you may wish to route calls to your AT&T iPhone and a Comcast landline at the same time. With Talkroute, combinations like this are no problem.
