ONLINE CALL FORWARDING 
 
8x8 strongly recommends using online call 
forwarding instead of phone-based call 
forwarding so your call forwarding 
instructions are stored online instead of on 
your phone. If you set your call forwarding 
rules on your phone, they will not be in 
effect if your phone is disconnected from 
an Internet connection. 
 
To enable online call forwarding 
(Virtual Office): 
1. Log on to your Virtual Office Online 
dashboard at 
http://virtualoffice.8x8.com 
2. Select Settings then Call 
Forwarding, then select the 
My Rules tab. 
3. Update your Call Forwarding Rules 
and press Save.

at any time to update your Call 
Forwarding Rules.
