You can divert your mobile calls to another number using the call forwarding feature on your mobile phone. This feature allows you to redirect incoming calls to a different phone number, even if your phone is turned off or out of range.
Here's how you can typically set up call forwarding:
- Open your phone's settings app.
- Find the "Call settings" or "Call forwarding" option.
- Choose the type of call forwarding you want to set up:
- Unconditional call forwarding: All incoming calls are forwarded to the designated number.
- Forward when busy: Calls are forwarded only when your line is busy.
- Forward when unanswered: Calls are forwarded only if you don't answer within a specific timeframe.
- Forward when unreachable: Calls are forwarded when your phone is switched off or out of range.
- Enter the number you want to forward your calls to.
- Save the settings.
Note: The exact steps and options may vary depending on your phone model and mobile carrier.
Example:
- If you're expecting an important call while you're at a meeting, you can set up forward when busy to your colleague's phone.
Practical Insight:
- Call forwarding is a useful tool for managing your calls when you're unavailable or need to keep your main number private.
- You can easily turn off call forwarding by going back to the settings and disabling the feature.
