Forward to Phone FAQs

Can TalkChief forward calls to a mobile phone?
An approved mobile number can be used as a forwarding destination where the account, destination, and calling rules support it.
What happens if the forwarded phone does not answer?
The outcome depends on the configured fallback and the external destination’s own voicemail behavior. Test this path before launch.
Is Forward to Phone available on every TalkChief account?
Forwarded calls may create outbound usage charges and depend on destination reachability, regulatory rules, and external voicemail behavior.
