4.2 Star codes (DTMF)

Star codes are a convenient means for activating call forwarding profiles or aplying rules and forwarding destinations to the default profile.

Activating a call forwarding profile

The star code for activating a call forwarding profile is *10, followed by the profile number of the required call forwarding profile.

For example, to activate profile number #3, dial *103.

Applying a call forwarding rule and destination

By using star codes, you can also activate dedicated call forwarding rules, such as "call forward always" and apply a destination for this rule. However, a rule applied via star codes will only affect the default profile, and by applying the rule, you will automatically activate the default profile. To change the rules of a call forwarding profile other than the default profile, you have to use the Web app / Desktop app.

The code for activating the rule "call foward always" is *11+destination. The destination can either be a telephone number (TN) or an extension number (EN). A telephone number is added in the international format, e.g. *110049892343123. An extension number is simply added as such. For example, *1133 would activate "call forward always" to extension 33.

By using the *11 star code + phone number, you can add a phone number as a destination to the default call forwarding profile. By using the *11 + phone number, you will activate the default profile.

For example, you have 3 call forwarding profiles and currently, the active profile is profile #2.

Dial *110049892343123.
⇒ The default profile has been activated, and the calls are forwarded to the phone number "0049892343123".

Setting your voicemail as a destination

When you apply a call forwarding rule, instead of adding an extension or telephone number as a destination, you can add your voicemail. Therefore, add another * and number 791.

For example, if you want to forward all incoming calls to your voicemail, use the star code *11*791. *11 for the rule "call forward always" and *791 for applying your voicemail as the destination for this rule.

Star codes are a convenient means for activating call forwarding profiles or applying rules and forwarding destinations to the default profile.

Activating a call forwarding profile

The star code for activating a call forwarding profile is *10, followed by the profile number of the required call forwarding profile.

For example, to activate profile number #3, dial *103.

Applying a call forwarding rule and destination

By using star codes you can also activate dedicated call forwarding rules like "call forward always" and apply a destination for this rule. However, a rule applied via star codes will only affect the default profile and by applying the rule you will automatically activate the default profile. To change the rules of a call forwarding profile other than the default profile you have to use the web app / desktop app.

The code for activating the rule "call foward always" is *11+destination. The destination can either be a telephone number (TN) or an extension number (EN). A telephone number is added in the international format, e.g. *110049892343123. An extension number is simply added as such. E.g. *1133 would activate "call forward always" to extension 33.

Here is an example of how activating a rule via star codes and adding a destination would affect your call forwarding setup:

You have 3 call forwarding profiles and currently, the active profile is profile #2.

You dial *110049892343123.
⇒ The default profile has been activated, the rule "call forward always" has been applied and the calls are forwarded to the phone number "0049892343123".

Setting your voicemail as a destination

When you apply a call forwarding rule, instead of adding an extension or telephone number as a destination, you can add your voicemail. Therefore, add another * and the number 791.

Example: If you want to forward all incoming calls to your voicemail, use the star code *11*791. *11 for the rule "call forward always" and *791 for applying your voicemail as the destination for this rule.
