In today's increasingly mobile world, businesses can no longer assume that their employees will always be in the office.
Telecommuting is on the rise.
New telephone systems and services enable businesses to treat telecommuters and mobile workers just as if they were in the office. Customers and co-workers can reach these workers using the same extension number, no matter where they happen to be physically located. This is especially useful for companies with a large percentage of mobile workers and telecommuters.

Telephone systems which support this feature generally allow the user to change the call forwarding settings from their personal voice mail menu.
