How to Forward Calls on Android

Forwarding calls on your Android phone allows you to send incoming calls to another number, which can be useful when you are busy or unavailable.

Call forwarding is easy to set up on most Android devices.

Here is a step-by-step guide to forwarding calls on Android.

Enable Call Forwarding in Settings

The first step is to enable call forwarding in your Android device’s Settings. Here’s how:

1. Open the Settings app on your Android phone.
2. Tap “Network & internet” or “Connections”.
3. Select “Mobile network” or “Cellular networks”.
4. Tap “Call forwarding” or “Call diverting”.
5. Toggle on “Call forwarding” to enable it.

Choose a Forwarding Number

Next, you will need to choose the phone number you want to forward calls to:

1. Under “Forward all calls to”, enter the phone number you want calls forwarded to.
2. Tap OK to save the number.

Once you’ve added the forwarding number, all calls to your Android device will be forwarded to that number.

Select When to Forward Calls

Most Android devices give you options for when to forward calls, such as:

• Always forward – Forward all incoming calls.
• Forward when busy – Forward calls when you are already on a call.
• Forward when unanswered – Forward calls that you don’t answer after a set number of rings.
• Forward when unreachable – Forward calls when your phone is turned off or out of service.

On some devices, you can also set up schedules for when call forwarding is enabled, such as only during work hours or at night.

Disable or Change Call Forwarding

When you want to stop forwarding calls:

1. Go back to Settings > Call forwarding.
2. Toggle off “Call forwarding”.

This will disable call forwarding on your device. You can also go back at any time to edit the forwarding number or change your call forwarding options.
