Call your service provider<\/h3>\r\nThe easiest and quickest way to activate call forwarding, both from your landline and your mobile phone, is to contact your service provider and ask them about call forwarding.\r\n\r\nThis will allow you to get to know the best fit for your needs, and know the fares, limits, and conditions that apply to your case.\r\n\r\nCalling your service provider will also allow you if there are additional promotions or services that you could get.\r\nChange your mobile phone configuration<\/h3>\r\nYou can change your mobile device configuration to activate call forwarding. If these options are grayed out and you cannot dial a number, you will have to contact your service provider to be able to redirect calls.\r\n\r\nIf you want to use call forwarding from an Android device<\/strong>, follow these steps:\r\n\r\n \t- 1. Open the \u201cPhone\u201d app (the one you use to make calls and that normally has a phone icon.)<\/li>\r\n \t
- 2. Search for the Additional Settings option. It is usually marked with three dots or three lines.<\/li>\r\n \t
- 3. Select \u201cSettings.\u201d<\/li>\r\n \t

- 6. On the menu that appears, you can choose in which situation to use call forwarding: always forward calls, forward while busy, forward when the call is not answered, or forward when you are not available.<\/li>\r\n \t
- 7. Each option allows you to dial the number where you want your phone calls to be redirected at.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nIf you want to make call forwarding from an iPhone<\/strong>, follow these steps:\r\n
\r\n \t- 1. Touch the option \u201cSettings,\u201d then \u201cPhone,\u201d and then \u201cCall forwarding.\u201d<\/li>\r\n \t

Redirect calls from Skype<\/h3>\r\nSkype also allows you to forward calls. If you frequently use this software, this option is perfect for you. If someone calls you on Skype but you can\u2019t answer or you are not connected to the internet, you can activate call forwarding so that the calls that you don\u2019t answer are automatically transferred to a landline or mobile phone.\r\n\r\nThere are no costs involved for the person that makes the call. Call forwarding is done by using very low fares, and you can use Skype credit or any of the offered subscriptions.\r\nPurchase a number to forward calls<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\nFirms such as Sonetel offer you the option to buy a number online to forward calls. This method allows you to forward your calls to any part of the world at the price of a local call.\r\n\r\nFor instance, if you are a business, you can show to your customers a local number in your country or city. Your customers can use their regular phone lines to call you, and those calls will be transferred to any part of the world at the cost of a local call.\r\n\r\nEven if you are not a business, you can use this way of forwarding calls to be contacted in any place in the world. Thanks to this service, anyone can contact you by using regular phone lines regardless of your location in the world, and without needing to connect to the internet.\r\nForward all of your calls to your message inbox or voice inbox<\/h3>\r\nIf you are looking for a way to forward all of your calls directly to your message inbox while you are busy and you can\u2019t answer, you can change your mobile device\u2019s settings.\r\n\r\nThe easiest and quickest way is to activate \u201cairplane mode\u201d on your device. If you do not want to receive any call, and want them to go directly to your voice inbox, activate this option in your Android or iOS device. Keep in mind that this option completely disconnects you from the internet and your cell phone network. You will receive notifications when you deactivate it.\r\n\r\nIf you have an iPhone and want to forward all your calls to the message inbox without activating airplane mode, follow these steps:\r\n\r\n \t- 1. Go to the start screen, and touch the option \u201cSettings.\u201d<\/li>\r\n \t
- 2. On the menu that appears, search for the option \u201cPhone.\u201d<\/li>\r\n \t
- 3. Select the option \u201cCall forwarding.\u201d<\/li>\r\n \t
- 4. Dial the message inbox\u2019s number. This is the same number that you call when you receive a voice message.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nIf you have an iPhone, you can also use the option \u201cDo not disturb\u201d to avoid receiving calls while you are busy. When this option is activated, you will not receive any notification, and the calls that you receive will enter without even noticing it and, eventually, they will go to your inbox.\r\n\r\nIf you have a mobile device with Android and want to forward all of your calls to your inbox, follow these steps:\r\n
\r\n \t- 1. Go to the Start screen, and touch the option \u201cPhone.\u201d<\/li>\r\n \t
- 2. Search the Additional Settings option. Usually, it is represented with three dots or three lines.<\/li>\r\n \t
- 3. Select \u201cSettings.\u201d<\/li>\r\n \t
- 4. On the menu that appears, select \u201cCall forwarding\u201d or \u201cCall redirecting settings.\u201d<\/li>\r\n \t
- 5. Select \u201cVoice call.\u201d<\/li>\r\n \t
- 6. Choose one of the options and, whenever you have to dial the number where you want your calls to be redirected at, dial your inbox or voice inbox\u2019s number. It is the same number that you call when you receive a voice message.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n
Conclusion<\/h2>\r\nCall forwarding allows you to transfer calls that you receive to another landline or mobile phone, which allows you to be available and receive calls even if you left your phone at home or in your office.\r\n\r\nYou can forward calls between landlines, from a landline to a mobile phone number and vice versa, and from internet call software such as Skype to landlines and mobile phones. Call forwarding also allows you to avoid giving out your private number while being able to receive all of your calls in a single number.\r\n\r\nYou can forward calls by contacting your service provider to activate this option, changing your device\u2019s settings, buying a number where you can forward all of your calls at an international level, and even forward your incoming Skype calls to a landline or a mobile phone.\r\n\r\nWhich method do you use to forward your calls, and in which situations do you use it?
