Automated Switching of Call Forwarding Setting

Post by dhall14 »

I would like to enable call forwarding when I shutdown my PC, and then disable call forwarding when I boot it back up. Every day, enable it when I shutdown, disable it when I boot up. But doing this manually each time is impractical. I have to open a browser, go to the MJ login page, login to my account, change the setting, save the changes, close the browser, then shutdown. And repeat the process when I boot the next day. As you can see, no one would bother to do this every time they shutdown or boot up. It would be terrific if this "toggling" could be automated some way. I would simply like to set call forwarding to "enabled" when MJ is not running, otherwise set it to "disabled". Anybody have any ideas how this might be accomplished? I tried recording a macro, but it was too cumbersome and inconsistent to work well. Thanks for your help.

This works very well. I keep it on my desktop and all you do is click enable and disable whenever you change. It does the rest for you

I'm not sure there is an updated link. If you pm your email address I can email it to you. The program isn't mine, just use it.

The Magicfeatures Plugin has a Call Forwarding Assistant feature that is an initial step to what you are looking for.

We are just about to kick off some more development on that particular feature to take it to the next level. At the moment, we are currently putting together an upgraded spec to design against.

Why don't you take a few minutes to download and install it and let us know what you would like it to ultimately do in additional to what it already does for turning on and off call forwarding (in priority order) so we can capture your requirements. For example, enable/disable at a programmable times, enable/disable when the jack is plugged/unplugged, etc...

Call Forwarding Disable/Enable (Dial 72/23) has just been released in Magicfeatures Release 1.07.

To enable Call Forwarding go offhook and dial 72 on your phone keypad and then optionally enter a new call forwarding number when you hear dialtone and then hang up after you hear 3 confirmation tone beeps.

To disable Call Forwarding go offhook and dial 73 on your phone keypad and then hang up after you hear 3 confirmation tone beeps.
