General Information
What is OneSuite Forwarding?
OneSuite Forwarding allows you to forward all your incoming calls to any designated number - domestic or international, voice or fax. You may subscribe to a U.S. or Canada local number, or toll-free number, to route your callers to your cell, home, or office phones or faxes or any OneSuite services such as SuiteAdvantage or OneSuite Fax around the country or abroad.
How does local/toll-free forwarding work?

With OneSuite Forwarding, you simply subscribe to a local/toll-free number, and calls to the number will be forwarded to any phone number you choose (business, home, mobile, fax etc.) anywhere in the world. So you won’t ever miss an important call, fax, or business opportunities. The call forwarding is transparent, so the caller will not know if you or your employees are not at a set location, or even overseas.

Who should use OneSuite Forwarding?

If you’re a frequent traveler, independent contractor, or someone who does not have a landline and doesn’t like to give out cell phone numbers, OneSuite Forwarding is what you need.  With OneSuite Forwarding service, you can give out your personal number to your family, friends, clients or colleagues where they can fax or call to reach you at any time, regardless of what country you might be in today.

If you’re a business, OneSuite Toll-Free Forwarding will provide you all the benefits of a Toll-Free service at a fraction of what you’re paying now.  In addition, you can extend your business hours and capture more business opportunities by making instant changes, via the web, to the forwarding destination to provide more flexibility and mobility.  

Why should I use OneSuite Forwarding?

OneSuite provides unbeatable rates with no contracts and commitments.  You can easily change your forwarding destination number(s) through the Internet or over the phone through our customer support hotline (1-866-4178483). Our Forwarding service can be combined with any of our service offerings such as SuiteAdvantage VoIP which allows free voicemail-to-email, and message broadcasting features; it can also be combined with OneSuite Fax to receive unlimited fax-to-email.  Like no others, all our features are A-La-Carte with a minimal subscription fee, so you won’t need to pay a lofty sum for unnecessary features.  Subscriptions can be made all in one account.
