Things To Remember:

  • Call Forwarding continues until you deactivate it from your telephone.
  • Your telephone can still be used to place outgoing calls, while incoming calls are being forwarded.
  • A short ring will be heard whenever your number is called, to remind you that your calls are forwarded. You cannot answer these calls.
  • If the telephone line that your calls are being forwarded to is busy, your caller will receive a busy signal.
  • Call Forwarding can be used for local and long distance calls. However, when you forward calls from your telephone to a number that is long distance, your telephone will be billed for the portion of the call from your telephone to the telephone number where calls are being forwarded.
  • Transmission is not guaranteed on calls forwarded to a Long Distance point.
  • If other persons, use your telephone, let them know when incoming calls are being forwarded - especially if they are expecting an important call.
  • Don't forget to tell the person who will receive your calls that you are using Call Forwarding - especially if you will not be where your calls will be forwarded.
