I believe the service you are looking for is called "Remote Access to
Call Forwarding" (RACF). I first heard of it from a woman active in a
largely volunteer organization where different volunteers took turns
answering the calls when there was no one in the non-profit's office.

She was looking for a way to change what number the call was forwarded
to when the designated volunteer changed so that no one would have to
go to the office to change the destination number.

The service was not offered when she first made the request, but it
became an offering a year or two later and the organization promptly
subscribed to it. There was a monthly charge, but as I recall at that
time it was pretty modest.
