Boy, would I love to have this feature here at work (CENTREX) and home. I don't know how many times I ended up in someone's office or home without expecting to be there and wished my calls were forwarded to me. Also, if it is going to take a substantial amount of time to get there, I would rather my machine take calls till I get where I'm going. I can also go office to office and forward my calls as I move. Of course, I still would want the ability to do both Call Forward from my office/home phone in addition to Call Follow from any phone.
