Icon Global Services specializes in international call forwarding. We do this better than anyone else by providing you with a reliable service that makes you accessible to your customers around the globe. Your call forwarding settings can be changed instantly depending on your needs. You can forward incoming calls to your existing call center or office anywhere in the world. Your new phone number can ring at several locations in different countries. For example, your new phone number can be forwarded to your reservation center in England and your customer service center in France. Let's say you add a new office in Belgium and want to forward calls there; you can. Your calls can be forwarded wherever they need to go.

In addition to forwarding calls through the traditional Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), our network is able to route phone calls across the Internet. SIP, or Session Initiated Protocol, refers to enterprise-grade VoIP (Voice-over Internet Protocol). Many customers appreciate the per-minute cost savings of SIP and find that the enterprise-grade lines provide excellent sound quality and reliability. To forward calls to a SIP device, you would provide a SIP address instead of a forwarding phone number. A SIP address looks like an email address, a few examples are 8885551212@216.52.11.11, 8885551212@mysip.mydomain.com, or even joe@mysip.mydomain.com. We support G.711 µ-Law and G.729 codecs, T.38 fax-relay, and RTP-NTP for DTMF-relay. Calls can instantly failover to PSTN if your SIP device fails for any reason.

You can control where calls are forwarded during specified times of the day and days of the week. Our system lets you forward calls to your call center while it's open, to your office during business hours, and then to VoiceMail2MyEmailSM at night. If you have staff working at different times in multiple locations, you can arrange to forward calls to different places at different times. For example, you can forward calls to your sales associate in Beijing during business hours there, and forward calls to your associate in Buenos Aires during business hours there. Call centers know this as "Follow The Sun" call routing. Calls can be forwarded to the call center that is open during local business hours. You can also send calls directly to VoiceMail2MyEmailSM on weekends.

Your business won't miss a call when your new phone number is forwarded to ring at multiple phone numbers simultaneously. Calls can be automatically forwarded to 15 different numbers that will all ring at the same time. The call will be connected to the first phone that answers.

If the first phone number you specified doesn't answer, calls will be forwarded to the next phone number you provided. Just let us know which phones to ring and in what order. Sequential ringing has been a valuable feature for our clients. For those with multiple call centers, when all the phones at one center are busy, sequential ringing allows customer calls to be forwarded to another center to be answered. Another popular use of sequential ringing is to have an office desk phone ring first, and if it is not answered, the call is then forwarded to a mobile phone.

You can combine both simultaneous and sequential ringing. Several phones can ring simultaneously and, if none of them are answered, calls will be forwarded to other designated phones. Calls will start ringing on the new set of phones until one of them is answered.

Icon Global Services uses more than 10 telecom carriers so that we have several PSTN routes available to forward your calls. Our system is programmed to find the best carrier for a clear connection so you can communicate with your customers. If one carrier isn't sending a call through, our network automatically switches to another carrier. A PSTN number is simply a regular phone number that you use every day, we use the term PSTN to distinguish between a SIP destination, which uses VoIP and isn’t directly accessible from regular phones. In the event your PSTN phone number or SIP destination is not reachable for any reason, the failover routing mechanisms on our network will automatically send your calls to a backup destination(s) you specify.

If calls can’t get to your primary destination PSTN number for any reason, our network will automatically forward that call to the backup PSTN number(s) you specify. Any errors or timeouts detected when your phone number is dialed will trigger an instant call to the backup number(s).

Our network instantly knows if your SIP device is responding and is able to answer the call. If your primary SIP destination can’t answer for whatever reason, our network will re-route your calls to the backup SIP destination(s) in less than one second.

If your SIP device misses an incoming call, our network will instantly forward that call to the next destination(s) you specify. The next destination could be another SIP address or a traditional PSTN phone number. This allows you the savings and flexibility of SIP with the added reliability of a PSTN failover.

You can setup your failover routing using any combination of up to 15 PSTN numbers or SIP devices. Use our Online Control Center to modify your settings instantly. This feature is especially useful when you are performing maintenance on your internal phone system.

All Icon Global Services call forwarding features use failover routing that allows maximum flexibility and reliability in getting your calls to the appropriate destination. When using Time/Day Routing, each time profile can have its own combination of primary and backup phone numbers or SIP addresses. Similarly, any Virtual Extension or shortcut key from a Voice Menu can use a call forwarding rule with failover routing. This allows you to set failover routing preferences based on the needs of your company.

Your new phone number can have as many extensions as you need. And those extensions can ring to various geographical locations around the world. Your 3- to 6-digit extensions can go to a person, a voice menu or VoiceMail2MyEmailSM. Using extensions with your new phone number makes it easy to route calls to the right person at the right time, especially if you have offices in different locations.

Create your own voice menu (IVR — Interactive Voice Response) and our automated system will guide your callers to the right department to expedite their requests. You can record custom messages for all of your voice menu options. Our IVR system is designed to accommodate the voice menu needs of large call centers as well as small businesses.

If a caller is better served by a different person or department, the call can be transferred to any extension - anywhere in the world. Instead of asking customers to dial another number, an easy call transfer will help you provide excellent customer service.

You choose the caller ID that is displayed on incoming calls to your existing phone - the phone number of the caller or the Icon Global Services number that was dialed. Many Icon Global Services clients prefer knowing if a call is coming through the Icon Global Services network, which guides them in how to address the caller.

Get voicemail sent to your email. You can listen to your voicemails on your PC or smart phone, save them for future reference, and even forward them to colleagues who need a copy. VoiceMail2MyEmail attaches the voicemail to an email as an audio file and sends it to the email address(es) you specify.

Let’s say you’re using simultaneous ringing and sending calls to your office phone and mobile phone. If your mobile phone is switched off or the battery has died, you can make sure your calls don’t go straight to voicemail using this human recognition feature. With this feature, your office phone continues to ring and you can accept the call by pressing any key. If you are not in the office, the call will go to voicemail after a determined number of rings

Calls can go directly to a single extension without having the caller go through voice menu and dial an extension. This feature automatically sends all calls made to your new phone number to the extension you indicate.

Both your new and existing phone numbers receive calls the same way, with one important difference: your new phone number gives your business a local presence in any country or city where you want more customers. With call forwarding, we send calls made to your new phone number to your existing phone number, which means you can do business anywhere without having to physically be there.

Icon Global Services offers three types of phone numbers: • A toll-free phone number allows customers to call at no charge to them. Instead, the charge for using a toll-free number is paid by the called party. In the US and Canada, a toll-free number begins with the 1-800, 1-866, 1-877, or 1-888 prefix. In the UK, they are 0-800 numbers or 0-808 numbers. • A local phone number is a phone number assigned to a designated geographic area by an area code or city code. • A national phone number is considered a local call from all cities in a given country, but not geographically assigned to any specific city. The UK, Spain, and France are some of the countries where national phone numbers are available.

Yes, after you have paid for service on that number for 90 days, you can port any number to the carrier of your choosing. Be sure to notify us after the transfer is complete to ensure we stop billing you for that number; we are not always notified when numbers are transferred away.

US and Canada toll-free numbers may be accessed in the US (including Hawaii and Alaska), Canada, Puerto Rico, Guam, the US Virgin Islands, and Saipan.

As many as you need. You can add new phone numbers instantly at any time.

Your monthly pricing is based on the type of number you choose. Refer to the Pricing page to see monthly pricing, included minutes, and additional per-minute rates. Your monthly pricing may vary depending on the number of minutes you use, and the location(s) and type of phone where you forward calls. For instance, it is less expensive to forward to a European landline than to forward to a European mobile.
