International phone number formatting for call forwarding

In this article:

When setting up call forwarding to an International Number, you'll want to be sure that the number is formatted correctly. When a US or Canada number is entered as the forwarding number, it will automatically be formatted as (555) 555-5555 and limit you to 10 characters. Note the use of parenthesis.

With International numbers, there is no need for parentheses. For example, if you are forwarding to a number in the UK with country code 44, it will need to be entered starting with a "+" symbol followed by the digits with no spaces. This will also allow you to exceed 10 characters. Here's an example: 

+445555555555

While our system will allow you to enter an international number, international call forwarding must be enabled in your account! To enable international call forwarding, please contact customer support. Be sure to include both your number and the international number you are forwarding calls to and we will respond as quickly as possible.
