Description
Example
Follow 
Me
Any 
individual
A person forwards his/her calls, 
turning the feature on at the 
destination phone.
A supervisor is helping 
someone at another desk 
and remembers that he or 
she wants to receive calls 
there.
Forward
Any 
individual
A person forwards his or her 
calls to an inside extension, 
turning the feature on at his or 
her own phone. (This feature 
can be activated through remote 
access as well.)
In Release 4.0 or later systems, 
Forward/Follow Me and Remote 
Call Forward provide a Delayed 
Call Forwarding option that 
allows calls to ring at the 
forwarding extension. This way 
of covering calls need not be 
temporary.
A manager is in a meeting 
and wants to receive calls in 
the meeting room.
In a Release 4.0 or later 
system, a manager answers 
some calls before they are 
forwarded. When the 
manager does not answer, 
calls ring at his or her 
secretary’s extension after a 
delay.
