After setting my Zoom phone standard auto. answer I decided to start forwarding my calls to my answering service. My calls are not being forwarded. When my number is called, my old standard answer is still immediately picking up. Please help.

Thanks Eliot,
However, even after adding an external number, calls are still going directly to voice mail instead of my answering service number so I still need to resolve this problem.
