Setting up a schedule with a custom rule set will allow you to set up specific call flows during certain times and days. This can add more flexibility in how your calls are handled. For this example, let’s say that you want to set up a rule in which all calls are forwarded to your voice mail during the night.


• Log into the My Account portal and click on the Call Forwarding settings.

• Click on the Schedule tab and add a new schedule. For this example we will name it “Night Hours.”


• Click the Add Schedule button.

Now you will have to define what Rule Set the schedule will follow.


• Click on the Rule tab at the top and create a new Rule Set. For consistency sake, it will share the same name as the recently created schedule.
