Not sur ethat the laterst version would necessarily fix things! I'm
using the forerunner - Asterisk@Home v2.7 - and it works for me.

If you can sucessfully call a mobile from within your network, you
should be able to forward to it.

If you don't want to be bothered using the Call Forwarding app, include
your mobile number in the ring group, followed by a #. Now any inbound
calls to that group should ring the mobile as well.
