You must have this feature on your line in order to activate it. To verify, at IUB, call 812-856-2287; at IUPUI, call 317-274-3004.

Instructions for using Call Forwarding

To activate Call Forwarding on your line, using any phone:

  1. Lift the handset and dial the appropriate activation code (see the table below for your campus).
  2. If the type of Call Forwarding you are activating is not fixed, listen for a "stutter" dial tone, and then dial the number to forward to exactly as you would to place the call, e.g., 5-xxxx or 9-332-xxxx.
  3. Listen for a confirmation tone and replace the handset.

To deactivate Call Forwarding on your line:

  1. Lift the handset and dial the appropriate deactivation code.
  2. Listen for a confirmation tone and replace the handset.

If you have a Meridian business set (M5312 or M5316) with add-on modules, you can also activate Call Forward Universal or Call Forward Per Key with a button rather than a code. To do so:

  1. Do not lift the handset or press Handsfree.
  2. Press the Call Forward button.
  3. Dial the telephone number to forward to exactly as you would to place the call, e.g., 5-xxxx or 9-332-xxxx.
  4. Press the Call Forward button. The diamond indicator will remain solid, indicating that all incoming calls will ring into the number you programmed.

To cancel Call Forwarding using a business set, press the Call Forward button. The diamond by the Call Forward button will go off, indicating that all incoming calls will ring into your number.
