- Forward when busy: select this option to forward incoming calls when your number is busy.
- Forward when unanswered: select this option to forward incoming calls when unanswered.
- Forward when unreachable: select this option to forward incoming calls when the phone is turned off or when your number is unreachable.
- Soon after selecting a call forwarding option (e.g: Forward when unreachable), enter the alternative number you want the incoming calls to be forwarded to or tap to select the required one from the Contacts app and then tap Enable button.
- If you didn't choose always forward, you can enable other call forwarding options by repeating from the step #6.
- To disable call forwarding, tap the required call forwarding option you want to disable (e.g: Forward when unreachable) and then tap Disable button.
As a note, if you don't have call forwarding option in your phone(in some models, some options/features may be disabled or unavailable) then alternatively you can enable or disable call forwarding via text message or by dialing a specific code. You can get the message format or the code to enable or disable call forwarding from your service provider.
