Learn how to forward calls to an external number! This article breaks down how to modify your call routing to allow call forwarding to an external number through Peerlogic Voice!

1. Begin by logging in to the Peerlogic Portal using your Office Manager credentials. (If you’re unsure about your login details, you can click on the “Forgot Login Name” option. The system will then send you a link to your email, enabling you to reset your username and password.)

2. Once you’ve successfully logged in, navigate to the “Inventory” tab and select it.
