I brought this up some time ago and received some great guidance from the group. Enough so that when I went to Bell, I had the terminology down and enough confidence they _could_ do this, that I stood firm until I got someone at Bell to agree and issue a work order.
Unfortunately, a month and 3 work orders later, it still did not work. By then, the customer was thoroughly pissed off and we ported the number to VoIP. YMMV.

Vonage, Bell, Rogers ect. all have different Call Forward types eg. C/F Busy, C/F No answer, C/F Always, etc. etc..... so you need to make sure that you can get C/F Busy on you main business line before you jump into anything else. There is another solution --- Single Number Reach (SNR) which I have found very useful.This virtual number can forward 3 (or 4 ?) calls to a number (usually VoIP) concurrently. It costs about $17 per month and will not need to be ported if you are a Bell customer.
