How to Forward Calls

Enable Call Forwarding on Your Landline, Android, or iPhone

Call forwarding lets you automatically transfer an incoming call to a different phone number. This service comes in handy for multiple reasons and in different situations. For instance, setting up call forwarding on your landline to your mobile number while you are away will allow you to not miss any important calls while you’re not home. This also works the other way around; whenever you’re home and have left your cell phone charging in the room, you can enable call forwarding to your landline to ensure you don’t miss a call.

Note: This article will provide the steps to set up call forwarding on your landline, your Android, or iPhone device.
