How Call Forwarding Works

Call forwarding directs incoming calls to another number based on conditions like busy or no answer. When a call is received, the system evaluates these conditions and routes the call to the specified forwarding number. This ensures the recipient receives the call even if theyโ€™re not available at the original number. Managed through telephony networks or VoIP systems.

  • Call forwarding redirects calls based on set conditions.
  • The system routes calls to a designated number.
  • Ensures recipient receives calls when unavailable.
