Below, we will provide instructions on how to forward one of your phone numbers to an external phone number. This practice is useful in case of a power outage or if you don't have access to your phones for any reason. You can forward your main phone number to an external cell phone or an alternate number so you don't miss any calls. 

This guide consists of two main steps. First, you will create a "Ring Group" where you'll manage the phone numbers you want to forward. Next, you'll need to direct the number you want to forward from to the Ring Group with the external number.

If you require further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at 732.363.9898 or via email at support@empiretelecomnj.com.
