Hello all, I am curious if anyone knows why "divert" is not available on SpeakOut's network. Or is it the Rogers network?

what I mean by that is currently, all "divert" modes, ie "unreachable", "busy", etc. are all handled the same way, i.e. the call is forwarded to voicemail.

Why can I not set my phone to forward the call to voicemail when I am unreachable, but to forward it a phone number of my choosing when it's busy?

thanks
mart

Call forwarding is not offered by SpeakOut.

I found it easier to get a freephoneline.ca VOIP account, with it's own phone number and then use that freephoneline number for forwarding. It can even do call hunting. All for free. You can even use that freephoneline number to forward to most other major Canadian cities. Again for free. http://www.freephoneline.ca

thank you "iamdrumming" and bridonica

i find "call divert" a very useful feature but obviously, one can't have it all

i heard someone talking about a service like "freephoneline" once but i didn't know it's available in canada. i'll check it out
