Features of Call Forwarding
While call forwarding is important, it includes many smaller features like…
Timeout Setting
This feature allows you to specify the duration for which the call will ring on the forwarded number before being redirected elsewhere. By setting a timeout value in seconds, you can control how long the call should ring on the forwarded number before being forwarded to the next destination.
Forward to IP Desk Phones
If you use IP desk phones, which are traditional wired phones connected to a VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) network, call forwarding allows you to redirect calls to these devices. This feature ensures that even if you’re away from your primary phone, you can still receive calls on your desk phone.

How to Forward Calls with My Country Mobile:
Forwarding calls with My Country Mobile is a simple process. You set it up by enabling specific phone numbers within the system. Here’s how it works:
- A caller dials your main phone number.
- The call is then forwarded to other enabled phone numbers, based on your setup preferences (either sequentially or simultaneously).
- Depending on your settings, the call will either ring all forwarding numbers at once or ring them one after the other until someone picks up.
How to Configure and Customize Call Forwarding:
Using My Country Mobile’s Advanced Options
- Enabling New Numbers: To add a new forwarding number, go to “My Forwarding Numbers” and click on “+ Add Forwarding Number.” Choose the type of number (Mobile App, Webphone, External, or SIP), set the ring timeout, and toggle the Enabled bar to green.
- Simultaneous or Sequential Ringing: You can set incoming calls to ring all numbers at once or sequentially. To change the order of sequential ringing, simply drag and rearrange the numbers as needed.
- Answering Rules: Each number can have its own answering rules, specifying when and by whom it can be called. You can block specific numbers by adding them to the Block List or create special paths for VIP callers or calls outside office hours.
