One touch call forwarding button

[Hershel]

I have a user who has recently upgraded from a legacy Norstar system.  In the past he always had a one touch key programmed that would automatically foward calls to his cell #.  Typically we us DEE or the user portal to provide this time of access but he really wants a one touch call forwarding button.

What I was thinking it program a station speed dial 355 9  (cell #) # and assign it to a button, this would turn call forwarding on.
I then believe we would need a second button programmed to turn call forwarding off. 

Is this correct or am I missing something?

Surely this is perfect as you say for DEE, give him a DEE toggle button and that's it sorted?

Just tried the station speed dial option, you would need a second button with 355# programmed under it.

NTEDave... I'm a new Admin on the Mitel 5000. Do I presume correctly that 355 x# toggles Call Forwarding "on"... and 355 # toggles Call Forwarding "off"?

Note: "x" being any digit/extension

Instructions I have aren't very clear. I found that I am responsible for this PBX System and I'm being asked to turn call forwarding to external cell phone number "off"...

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks,

What do you mean by turning it off?

If you want to prevent the user from forwarding their calls off, there is a station flag for PSTN transfers.
