Forwarding incoming calls is a very convenient function that allows you to get through to the subscriber in any case, even if he is busy, unavailable or simply cannot answer.
What is Call Forwarding?
If the call forwarding service is activated on the device, you do not have to worry that an important phone call will be missed. For example, someone calls you one number, but it is not available now. When forwarding is connected, his call is automatically redirected to another phone, which was specified by the owner. In addition, this function will help in the event that the phone was left somewhere, but you still want to stay in touch.
Types of call forwarding
It is worth noting that if you need to connect this service, you must make a decision - what type of forwarding you are interested in. There are several of them in total: unconditional, non-response, inaccessibility and employment. Unconditional call forwarding means that always and absolutely all calls will go to the number the owner needs. Call forwarding on no response will be launched if after the expiration of time you have not received a response. The time period can be adjusted from 5 to 30 seconds.
Call forwarding on unavailability, as the name implies, will be carried out when your phone is out of network access or disconnected, that is, unavailable. Busy forwarding will be performed when your first number is busy, then the call will be redirected to your other number.
There is another variation - conditional forwarding. It turns on if the owner of the number to which the call is made is unable to answer (busy, unavailable, etc.). The so-called voice greeting starts, where the answering machine offers to switch to tone mode. In tone mode, you need to enter a certain combination of numbers that allows you to connect and call the subscriber.
It is worth noting one significant nuance of the service, which is that it is you who will pay for the forwarded call and its cost will be equal to the cost of a regular call according to your tariff plan. Most modern telecom operators offer such a service and it will not be difficult to connect it. Usually, to connect, you need to enter a specific command and bind a phone number to which the call will be forwarded.
The binding command looks different for each mobile operator. In addition, the command depends on the type of forwarding mentioned above. It is also necessary to say that you can also connect this service on a special website of a mobile operator, if, of course, there is one. Connection is carried out exclusively in the user's personal account.
