Call forwarding is a feature that allows you to redirect incoming calls to another phone number or service. This feature is common in phone systems and can greatly improve call management. Call forwarding increases productivity by ensuring that more calls are answered, which is especially useful in today's mobile work environment. If someone is away from the office due to vacation or business travel, incoming calls can be redirected to an alternate number, ensuring that callers' queries and concerns are addressed. It is a simple way to make sure that no calls are missed.
Call forwarding is as simple as redirecting a call to a different phone number. You can still make outgoing calls while call forwarding is active. The number that receives the redirected call will ring normally. However, many people are unaware of call forwarding and how to use it.
