Call forwarding methods

Unconditional Call Forwarding

At a choice of this way absolutely all calls which will come on your number (from which you establish forwarding) will be redirected on other, specified by you number.

Example: you are the owner of the phone “A”, you set the unconditional forwarding to the phone “B”. After that phone “A” will not notice any call. All calls will go to phone “B”.

Phone “A” can be switched off at all, all calls will be redirected to phone “B” anyway. This method of call forwarding is mostly applied in that case if you decided to change telephone number and don’t want to lose contacts. You set the unconditional call forwarding from the old number to the new number and receive all calls to it.

If there is no answer

In other words, if you do not answer the incoming call for some time, it will be redirected.

Time after which the call will be redirected is set by you in the telephone settings.

Example: set forwarding “if there is no answer” from number 050111111111 to number 0672222222. The time after which the call will be forwarded. 20 seconds. There is an incoming call to the number 0501111111 and further 20 seconds this call does not differ from the ordinary incoming.

If you do not pick up the phone within 20 seconds, the call will be automatically redirected to the number 0672222222. When choosing a time interval, note that the duration of the call rarely exceeds 30 seconds (before the answer).

If your phone is switched off

Call forwarding if your number is switched off or out of network coverage area. I think everything is clear from the name.

If at incoming call your number will be switched off (or out of a network), but the given type of redirection is set, the call will automatically go to the specified number.

Example: there is an incoming call on your number and you have set call forwarding “if switched off or out of network area. If at this moment your phone is switched off (or out of network) the call forwarding will happen. If your number is on, you will receive a standard incoming call.

The line for trimmer is busy

If the trimmer line is busy (you are talking to someone on the phone). Here, too, everything is very clear. If you are already in a call and you have “busy” forwarding set up, then the incoming call will be forwarded to the number you have specified.
