Call Forward

<< Back to Calling Features Instructions

How it works:

You can program your calls to ring at another number. You can still use your phone to make outgoing calls. Cost of Call Forward is $1.75 for residence and $2.25 for business per month.

To "turn on" the service:

1. Lift the handset and listen for dial tone.
2. Press 72#. (On a rotary phone, dial 1172.)
3. Listen for dial tone.
4. Dial the number where you want your calls forwarded. Dial the number exactly as if you are calling directly. For a local number, dial the 7-digit phone number. For a long distance number, dial "1" plus the area code. If you have speed calling, you may dial one of your codes instead. Long distance charges will be billed to you.
5. When the phone is answered, Call Forward is in effect.

If there is no answer, or the line is busy:

1. Hang up.
2. Within two minutes, repeat steps 1-4 above. You will hear a confirmation tone to let you know Call Forward is now working.

To "turn off" the service:

1. Lift the handset and listen for dial tone.
2. Press 73#. (On a rotary phone, dial 1173.)
3. Listen for confirmation tone, then hang up. Call Forward is now "off, " and calls will ring normally on your phone.
