Vonage You may forward to any number. You may also forward to all your numbers at once,
You may forward to any number. You may also forward to all your numbers at once, or in series. Check the FAQ for forwarding for detailed info. Search term "ring lists" may be very helpfull.
I generally forward toll-free to my softphone and not the main line. (this is not possible with virtual numbers ,for instance) Configuration is very flexible and designed to be manipulated quickly online as your requirements change. All of your calls will be listed on the same "activity" page in Dashboard. A little green "bug" will show forwarded calls, and time and duration, etc. will be available. Very simple once you've become familiar with the interface.

On the forwarding configuration page, click the "Call Forwarding FAQ" link. Clicking that link leads to the following text:
"Call Forwarding lets you easily forward your calls to your cell phone or any number in the US, Canada and Puerto Rico at no extra charge! You can set it to ring your home phone first for up to 50 seconds then forward the call – it doesn’t matter, because we give you the power of flexibility.
PLUS, Vonage is the only company that offers you Enhanced Call Forwarding featuring SimulRing®. This Vonage exclusive feature simultaneously rings your Vonage number and up to 5 more phone numbers that you choose in the US, Canada or Puerto Rico – and you can still answer your calls immediately, as if they weren’t being forwarded at all."
There does seem to be some confusion (see response below from jcovert)
A "virtual number" is tied to your main account (and rings there), a toll free line is configurable just like your main account and does not necessarily need to ring your main account (but may be configured to do so) An 800 line also has its own answering machine.
800 forwarding config page
I stand by my "opinion" that an 800 line can ring your cell phone. (see quoted FAQ above) However, it does appear that on forward, it must *also* first ring one of your Vonage accounts. So.... jcovert is correct on that issue; your other acount will ring. Mine is set to ring softphone, softphone rings my main account so when ringing it isn't clear which number was dialed. Whichever of my phones is at hand will ring (without delay) regardless of which number was dialed.

Read The Full Thread: Can 800 service forward to any number?
• Can a toll-free number be forwarded to any phone number, like the standard line
• Yes. The toll-free number features work exactly like your main number features.

• Ok, cool. One more clarifying question - could I add a toll-free line, then forward
• Pepperoni is wrong.
You cannot forward a Vonage 800 number directly to a non-Vonage
• New info added by both Pepperoni and jcovert.
• Just like a Virtual Number, you can ONLY forward calls from your Vonage Toll-Free
• Thanks for the detailed answers and clarifications! Now I know how to proceed...
