Hi Shaun,
thanks for the quick reply. I am using different phones. As IP Phones I am using SNOM 190s, but in addition I ahva a "legacy" ISDN-PBX attached to Asterisk with some ISDN DECT phones connected to it.
When using the IP phones I guess it might be possible that the IP phone does the Call Forward internally (Although I don't know how this is done because the froward target could be an other SIP-Client somewhere in the world as well as any phone connected to PSTN or POTS somewhere in the world).
Therefore I am looking for a solution that works independently of the device you are using (ISDN phone, IP phone, etc.). What I thought of is telling Asterisk to change the dialpan dynamically for a while by entering a "string" on the phone of your choice. In case of an IP phone it might be possible to program this string to a programmable key.
Maybe I am just thinking too complex about the whole thing and there is an easy solution?

What type phones are you using?
I know that with the Cisco 7940 and 7960 phones that we use, one can just hit the "CFwdAll' softkey, enter a number (eg: mobile, or another extension) and press accept.
To cancel call forwarding, just press CFwdAll again.
Pretty simple.
Caveat: This method will occupy two lines whenever a call is forwarded. If you use an analogue interface, it's also possible that the lines will be tied up "forever" because if they don't know the caller has hung up. The latter isn't an issue with ISDN though (which we use).
