It would be great to have this feature, for those that use international cellphones and would like to be able to forward our home line to that.

you shouldnt be limited to forwarding to a US number. if you want to forward your calls to wherever, you should be able to. as long as you understand the assiciated charges for international calls.

I've seen the call forwarding feature change from moment to moment on the Vonage site. I've seen it show a configuration screen allowing an international number and moments later I've seen it only allow a US number. I don't understand why, and customer support is anything but, but I've seen it and I've used it.

I even asked customer support who told me it's not possible to take a look at my recent calls. The usage screen clearly shows that the calls were forwarded to an international number. How'd I do that if the option doesn't exist?

Perhaps it's a feature the technical folks are working on and it's not fully implemented? I dunno... but the option is there... occasionally.

There are other solutions. You can get a free number from Voicestick and prepay a balance there to permit forwarding to an overseas number. The Voicestick rates to overseas mobile phones are markedly lower than Vonage Canada's rates (I'm not sure what Vonage US's rates are) so this is an attractive option, if slightly more bother.

Is there a service where I can dial, maybe a pin # and then the number I can't to call?

In otherwords, where I don't need access to a computer to change the forwarding number ??

Looks like you can do it from your web account as long as you have int'l calling enabled (otherwise it will error out). I have not tested it through the TUI as of yet but from the web account you are good to go.

Apparently you can now do International Call Forwarding directly from your telephone as well. I found this out this morning when dialing *72. It gave me directions to do just that.
