What does call forwarding mean?

Call forwarding means that a caller who is unable or unwilling to answer the phone can have the call forwarded to another phone number.

Call forwarding is a traditional communication service in the telecommunications industry, also known as call forwarding and inbound transfer. Obviously, caller ID is really designed to provide convenience to the user, so that the user can decide whether or not to answer the call or how to answer the call according to his/her own wishes at any time. Call forwarding is a basic telecom service that is available on any cell phone.

Call forwarding has several modes: unconditional call forwarding, busy call forwarding, no answer call forwarding, and unreachable call forwarding. When the user is initiating conditional call forwarding, the call forwarding can only be triggered when the conditions are present. One of the special conditions is the off-hook. Since the user's off-hook status can be checked, the succession process of off-hook call forwarding is the same as that of unconditional call forwarding.

Scenarios of using phone call forwarding:

Sometimes when the phone is in the basement or in the high-rise building floors, the phone also goes out of the coverage area because it can't find the network. And after the cell phone is out of the coverage area, the cell phone is usually unable to make or receive calls. At the same time, the phone will still be desperately searching for a signal, at which point it should be transferred to a landline using the call forwarding feature, thus ensuring that incoming calls are not lost.

While you have to pay to receive calls on your cell phone, the call forwarding feature is completely transparent to the caller, i.e., he doesn't even feel that his call has been forwarded to a landline. So, when on vacation or on a day off, you can transfer incoming calls from your cell phone to your home wired phone through the call forwarding feature of your cell phone, which will extend the battery life of your cell phone.
