Do You Know About Call Forwarding? You Can Redirect Incoming Calls to Another Number Using VoIP
Call forwarding is a feature of traditional telephones that has been around for a long time, but in today's world, not everyone knows about its possibilities.
With call forwarding, you can simply redirect incoming calls to another number. This can be convenient in various situations – either temporarily or permanently.
Enabling call forwarding is straightforward with different VoIP devices. However, it actually refers to a feature of the device instead of the phone itself, which can be set through the device's settings. A call forwarding setting made for a connected device will remain effective until the connection is removed – for example, if the device is not in use on another phone.

How to Use Call Forwarding on Different Manufacturers' Android Devices
Android devices offer more extensive options for setting up call forwarding. You can enable it whenever your phone is available, when a call is not answered, or when the connection is unreachable (combined alternative for call forwarding, when available, closed, or offline).
Setting up call forwarding on different Android devices can be done through slightly differently named menus. We have provided examples from several manufacturers' recent operating system versions. Note that the structure and/or names of these menus may vary slightly between different operating system versions and possibly even between different device models. Significant differences should not occur, but finding the setting might require applying instructions in certain cases.
