How to Program Call Forwarding
Many telephone service providers permit their subscribers to forward calls to a telephone number other than their primary telephone number. This service can be extremely useful when a telephone service subscriber knows that they will not be available at their particular telephone number for a specific period of time. Although call forwarding instructions may seem daunting, almost anyone can successfully utilize their call forwarding options if they carefully follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
