Transferring calls can be helpful in numerous situations, such as when you plan on being in an area with poor reception and want to receive calls at a different phone, or when you travel internationally and want calls forwarded to a phone with lower rates. In most cases, you can modify the call settings on your phone to have calls transferred to the phone number of your choice. However, if your wireless provider is Verizon, you must enable call forwarding by entering a short code sequence on your device.

Steps

Transferring Calls on iPhone

Tap on “Settings” from the home screen of your iPhone.

Tap on “Phone,” then on “Call Forwarding.”

Tap on “Forward to.”

Enter the phone number to which you want all your incoming calls transferred.

Tap back on “Call Forwarding” located at the top of your iPhone screen, then on “Phone,” then on “Settings.” Your iPhone will save your new call forwarding settings, and will transfer all incoming calls to the phone number you specified.

Transferring Calls on Android

Tap on the Menu button and select “Settings.”

Tap on “Call settings.”

Tap on “Call forwarding.”

Tap on “Always forward.” Alternately, you can tap specifically on the call forwarding setting you want changed. For example, if you only want calls transferred when you fail to answer the phone, tap on “Forward when unanswered.”Transfer Calls Step 9Bullet1.jpg

Enter the phone number to which you want all incoming calls forwarded.

Tap on “Enable.” Your phone will then modify and save your new call forwarding settings.

Tap on your Android's “escape” button to exit out of Settings. Going forward, your Android will transfer all incoming calls to the phone number you specified.

Transferring Calls on Blackberry

Tap on or press the green “Send” or “Call” button on your Blackberry.

Press the Blackberry Menu key to access your phone's call settings.

Scroll to and select “Options,” then “Call Forwarding.”

Press the Blackberry Menu key and select “New Number.”

Enter the phone number to which you want all incoming calls transferred.

Click on the trackball or select the option to save the new number.

Select “Forward All Calls” and press the Escape button. Going forward, all incoming calls will be transferred to the phone number you specified. Alternately, you can tap specifically on the call forwarding setting you want changed. For example, if you only want calls transferred when you are outside of a service area, select “If Not Reachable.”

Transferring Calls on Windows Phone

Tap on “Start” and select “Phone.”

Tap on “More” and select “Settings.”

Toggle the “Call Forwarding” switch to “On.”

Tap on the blank field next to “Forward calls to” and enter the phone number to which you want all incoming calls transferred.

Tap on “Save.” Going forward, all incoming calls will transfer to the phone number you entered.

Transferring Calls with Verizon Wireless

Dial *72 from your mobile device serviced through Verizon Wireless, followed by the 10-digit telephone number to which you want all calls transferred. If you only want calls transferred when you are busy or fail to answer the phone, dial *71 instead of *72.

Press the “Send” button to confirm that you want all calls transferred to the number you entered. Verizon Wireless will then process your information, and immediately begin transferring all incoming calls to the phone number you specified.
