How mobile call forwarding works
Call forwarding is useful when someone leaves their workplace, takes longer leave or is off sick, and you want to make sure calls to the number are handled. You can forward to any type of number, fixed, mobile, group or switchboard numbers. With some carriers it is a service that must be ordered before it can be activated.
