This call forwarding function is similar to that provided in email services and that allows users to automatically forward received emails to another email account so that it can be answered from this second account..
Call forwarding is available on Android and iPhone mobile devices. They are also compatible with each other, that is, you can divert a call received on your Android phone and send it to another phone number on an iPhone. The same happens on the contrary, if you activate call forwarding on iPhone you can send the received calls to Android devices or any other phone.
Call forwarding is linked to the phone number and device that receives the incoming call, so the second phone that receives the forwarded call does not have to activate anything since it will simply receive a normal incoming call..
One aspect to keep in mind is that when you activate call forwarding on your phone, you will be charged for the call you forward. This means that if a customer calls you on phone 1 and you divert it to phone 2, the phone company on phone 1 will charge you as a call, the call forwarded to phone 2.
Therefore, the calling customer will have to pay for the call they make, but you, as the receiver, when diverting the call, will also have to pay for the call when it is diverted to phone 2..
Having said this, we want to show you step by step how to configure and use call forwarding on your Android phone or iPhone:
