Phoneware SIP Trunks also offer a useful feature called UNAVAILABLE CALL FORWARDING. This feature forwards calls ONLY when your phone system has lost communication with our servers, such as in the event of a power outage, internet failure, or phone system malfunction. Specific unavailable forwarding destinations can be configured for the different direct dial telephone numbers, such as staff mobile phones. This forwarding will invoke automatically if and when the phone system is seen as “off line” by our SIP trunk servers.
