I've forwarded a house phone using the * code and have had a few forwards going
at the same time.I imagine they dont have a cap on this, but havent tested.
CID is passed through, the actual callers CID is passed to the forwarded line.
If the forwarded line is a landline (I haven't had luck with this on a call)
you can use rdnis to deterine which number was called.
I use this for single number re-direction, IE have one DID that 3-4 lines
forward into (great for LD re-routing of fixed POTS lines), then based on the
rdnis can forward accordingly

Hi Dean,
As Alex K. mentioned, CID has always been forwarded correctly in my
experience.
Capacity depends on how you do the forward. If you convert it to a Single
Number Reach service from Bell, you can have either 3 or 6 concurrent
calls, depending on the page. See the SNR comparison table here:
https://www.bell.ca/web/sb/pdf/SNRComparisonEN.pdf
I'm not sure about forwarding a standard line - but if you're just using it
to keep the number without paying out a contract, convert it to an SNR
service and ditch the physical line. It's much cheaper.
Cheers,
AR
