Are you trying to configure Android’s call forwarding? Rerouting incoming calls to a different number is a feature that may be useful for a variety of reasons.
Every time I travel, call forwarding is used. Call forwarding on Android enables me to divert all incoming calls to my home phone, Google Voice number, or a local number without paying call roaming fees. Others utilise it to escape interruptions while on vacation. Whatever your motivation, we can assist you in configuring call forwarding on Android. Shall we begin immediately?
Application of Call Forwarding
You can use call forwarding to divert all incoming calls from your landline to an other phone of your choice. You may learn how to use this feature by reading the instructions below.
Ways to activate call forwarding
Call forwarding must be turned on.
When you hear a dial tone, press *72.
A stuttering dial tone followed by a standard dial tone should be heard.
Call the number you want to receive forwarded calls.
Hang up when a live person or voicemail answers the phone. (You should probably let the person know what you’re doing in advance!)
The phone number you called will now receive your calls.
