Call Forwarding
Have your calls follow you wherever you go
Call Forwarding service lets you transfer calls from your own phone to a phone where you can be reached. Or, transfer your calls to a phone where someone can take a message for you.
To Forward Your Calls
- Lift the receiver and listen for the dial tone.
- Dial "72".
- Depress the # button (with a rotary dial, skip this step and wait for a 4-second pause).
- Listen for the special dial tone.
- Now, dial the number where you wish your calls forwarded. (Speed Calling may also be used if you have this feature.)
- When someone answers at the forwarded number, call forwarding is put into effect.
If there's no answer, or the line is busy, hang up and repeat the previous two steps. If you do this within two minutes, you'll hear two beeps, meaning your Call Forwarding feature is in effect.
Once you've activated Call Forwarding, the phone will make one short ring each time a call is forwarded. However you will still be able to make out-going calls from this phone.
If you wish to change the number your calls are being transferred to, just discontinue the first (see below), and redirect your calls using the above steps
You can forward your calls outside your local calling area. If you do, normal long distance charges will apply and be billed to your account.
To Discontinue Call Forwarding
- Lift the receiver and listen for the dial tone.
- Dial "73".
- Depress the # button (with a rotary dial, skip this step and wait for a 4-second pause).
- Listen for confirmation tone. Call Forwarding is now discontinued
