Part 1. What Is Call Forwarding on iPhone
Call forwarding is a call management feature that allows you to make sure no call goes unanswered. It enables you to forward your mobile calls to a landline phone or another phone, like a home or office number. After you enable the call forwarding function, you won't be disturbed by a ring when you get a phone call. This call will be automatically redirected to the number you have set up for receiving forwarded calls.
When you set up call forwarding on an iPhone, your phone call will be forwarded to another available device when a line is busy, or the caller calls at a busy time. Call forwarding is widely used in offices. It ensures that all prospect calls are answered. Nowadays, advanced phone systems even allow you to set various rules for call forwarding. When you turn on call forwarding, your iPhone won't ring when you get a call. Instead, it will be sent straight to the phone number you set to receive your forwarded calls.
