# How can I configure Local Device/Phone Call Forwarding?

If your VoIP phone or device supports call forwarding, your phone's own forwarding options can be used instead of, or in conjunction with, your sipgate account's online call forwarding settings.

Notes:

* Your VoIP phone or device must be registered online in order for its own local call forwarding rules to be followed.
* If you setup call forwarding both in your online sipgate account settings and also in your phone's local settings, sipgate will give handling priority to your online forwarding rules over your phone's local call forwarding rules.

#### Configuring your phone's Call Forwarding
