Call Forward Not Reachable / Automatic failover
Call Forward Not Reachable / Automatic failover in case of failure
This feature enables a User to redirect incoming calls to another phone destination when the Uses device fails to respond to an incoming call request or is not registered with the service.
For example if your phone were to break, Internet connection fails, Power goes off etc.. then the next call that came in would be automatically diverted to your chosen alternative number such as your mobile.
This function should be used for disaster recovery and to ensure you never miss a call.
Call Forward Not Reachable forwards calls to a specified forwarding phone number when the Users device fails to respond to an incoming call request.

*94 Call Forwarding Not Reachable Activation (Follow instructions to enter destination number)
*95 Call Forwarding Not Reachable Deactivation
