Step 1: Accessing Call Forwarding Options
The first step to activating call forwarding is to access the call forwarding options on your device. The process may vary slightly depending on your telecom service provider and the type of device you are using. However, in most cases, you can find call forwarding options under the ‘Settings’ or ‘Phone’ menu.
Step 2: Selecting Call Forwarding Type
Once you have accessed the call forwarding options, you will need to select the type of call forwarding you want to activate. Telecom service providers offer different types of call forwarding options, such as:
- Forward all calls: All incoming calls will be forwarded to the specified number.
- Forward when busy: Incoming calls will be forwarded to the specified number only when your primary phone is busy.
- Forward when unanswered: Incoming calls will be forwarded to the specified number only if you don’t answer the call within a certain time.
- Forward when unreachable: Incoming calls will be forwarded to the specified number only when your primary phone is unreachable or out of coverage area.
Choose the type of call forwarding that suits your needs.
Step 3: Entering Forwarding Number
After selecting the call forwarding type, you will need to enter the number to which incoming calls will be forwarded. Make sure to enter the number correctly to avoid any misdirection of calls. Some devices may also allow you to select a contact from your phonebook.
Step 4: Activating Call Forwarding
Once you have entered the forwarding number, you are ready to activate call forwarding. Simply select the ‘Activate’ or ‘Turn On’ option, and the call forwarding feature will be enabled on your device.
Step 5: Verifying Call Forwarding Status
To ensure that call forwarding is successfully activated, you can make a test call to your primary phone number from another device. If the call is redirected to the specified forwarding number, it means that call forwarding is working correctly.
Remember to deactivate call forwarding when you no longer need the feature. Simply follow the same steps as mentioned above and select the ‘Deactivate’ or ‘Turn Off’ option.
That’s it! You have successfully activated telecom call forwarding on your device. Now you can receive important calls even when you are not available on your primary phone. Enjoy the convenience of call forwarding!
