hey guys,
We got a hosted 3cx setup. (via Ridgewall UK , who provide zero support, despite paying them for support)
Our main number as such, currently rings on multiple phones in a Ring Group (i am new to 3cx)
With the xmas break and finishing early, the business has asked me to divert the inbound calls to 1 users mobile phone, until 12 tomorrow...
Then just leave the normal out of hours service to run which somehow rings out to an external number...

I dont know where to start on understanding how it works, and how to pre-test whether a divert to an external number will work, etc etc...

Is there an option to start the out of hours xmas break cover (would technically run from 12:00am 23rd dec, until 7am tue 3rd Jan) early, so from 7am i have the main inbound number heading to a users mobile, then switching it back to its existing external number who provide out of hours support (they do our cover from 12pm tomorrow)
 
This can be done with proper scheduling. However, that might be difficult to walk you through on short notice. For a manual fix for now, you can change the "during office hours" destination that you should find in your Inbound Rules to go to the cell number. You can also create a Holiday schedule to do this but if you schedule it over that period of days, it won't switch back to "after hours" on a daily basis. You would have to create holiday schedule for each work day.
 
hiya
cheers for the reply..
I got there in the end, using the existing Xmas holiday period already setup, then looking at the process of "inbound rules" and groups, i changed the settings to forward onto an external number , so not sure if i bodged it as such, but we got the result we needed :)
