You can set up system call forward from your extension to a mobile or landline by following the steps below:
The best way is to always forward to the same number, that way it can be set up as a Speed Call.
Set up Speed Call:
- Login to your Mitel system.
- From the homepage navigate to the System Property - System Feature Settings - System Speed Call form.
- Click Add.
- When the window opens enter the new Speed Call details:
-
Speed Call Number - XXX or XXXX (make the number of digits the same as your Extn digit length)
-
Enter the actual number - (9) or the access code for an outgoing line on your system followed by mobile or landline number e.g. (9) 0778XXXXXXX or (9)011324XXXXX (9 then the full number)
-
Override T/C - Yes
-
Select S/C option
Speed Call - 450 Act No - 9078xxxxxx Override - Yes Select S/cThis saves having to then change the COS for the phones and trunks with Override to Yes
-
Set up a Call Forward Profile:
- Go to the User & devices - Advance Configuration - Call Forward Profile form.
- Click Add.

- Number - xxx or xxxx (the extension that wants the calls forwarding)
