In the context of FreePBX, the *73 code is a call forwarding feature that allows you to enable or disable call forwarding on your phone line. When you dial *73, your phone system will send a command to the phone company’s central office to turn on call forwarding for your line. When you dial *73 again, it will send a command to turn off call forwarding.
To use the *73 call forwarding feature in FreePBX, follow these steps:
Dial *73 on your phone.
Enter the phone number to which you want to forward your calls.
Press the pound (#) key to confirm your entry.
Hang up the phone.
Your calls should now be forwarded to the specified phone number. To turn off call forwarding, simply repeat the process and enter *73 when prompted for the phone number.
