AT&T IP Flexible Reach Customer Portal: Department Administrator Support

Call Forwarding - Not Reachable

The Call Forwarding – Not Reachable feature enables a user to set an alternate phone number (for example, a wireless number) where calls will be redirected when the user's AT&T IP Flexible Reach phone number is unreachable.

These features take precedence over the Call Forwarding - Not Reachable feature (if they are active): Simultaneous Ring, Sequential Ring, Call Forwarding - Selective Call Acceptance, and Call Rejection.

Call Forwarding - Not Reachable is also invoked if:

The Call Forwarding - Not Reachable timer expires before the specified number of ring cycles for Call Forward - No Answer have played.
A caller routed to Simultaneous Ring presses # to skip the search sequence.

Forwarded calls are treated according to the Forward Calls to phone number's settings. For example, if the forwarded call isn't answered, callers may be prompted to leave voicemail for the forwarded phone number, not for the phone number originally called.

Note: If enabled, the Intercept Announcement feature takes precedence over all other active features. For details, see Intercept Announcement.
