Yes, please remove PRESS "1" or add the option to disable it because having to press "1" makes it impossible to automate call forwarding.

This is available now, under the "Require key press before answering forwarded calls" option in Preferences->Calling. Just uncheck the box if you don't want to hear the "Press 1..." prompt on multi-ring calls.

Hi Bobby B,

It seems that this features has either been removed or moved. Any chance you know how I can remove the "Press 1" to accept a forwarded call? I can't seem to find the current answer on this forum.

Thanks!
Larry.

- Select the 'cog' to the right of the mobile #.

- Uncheck "Require key press on answer".
