Weird unity call forward issue....

I have a POTS line (we'll say its 111-222-8000) and at the telco they are forwarding this to another number which is 111-222-6120.

In Call Manager i have a dummy phone for 6120 that is set to Forward all to Voicemail.

In unity i have call handler setup with the optional extension as 6120.

When i dial the PSTN number from my cell 111-222-6120, i hear the greeting everything is cool.

However when i dial 111-222-8000 i dont hear the 6120 greeting.

Any help would be greatful

When you dial this number, what is happening? Is it hitting the system at all? I don't think you mentioned what type of call treatment this call is recieving.

1. If forwarding is taken off the (dummy)phone, (set up a real one) does it ring the phone
1a. If the phone isn't ringing, is the call actually getting to the fxo port.

My guess is if it's hitting the system and call display is active, this might play a role in your issue.

2. ANI
