Vadim Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 The iphone makes it easy to forward calls home! I love it! I just ran accross this after playing with it for an hour so I figured I would share! Anyway, let's say you go home and dont want to keep you phone in your pocket. Easy solution, just setup the iphone to forward all calls to your home phone number. Goto - Settings -> Phone -> Call Forwarding -> Click On -> Enter Phone # to forward calls to. Update: Looks like mrgroove wrote a full how-to for this. How To Forward Calls to Another Number From an iPhone: http://www.groovypost.com/howto/mobile/ ... an-iphone/ I found it a few days ago and i've been using it ever since. Helps cause now I can just throw the phone in my laptop bag and not worry about missing a call. Hope you guys enjoy my first "Groovy How-To".

alexmvp Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Sweet write-up Vadim. I read this last night and enabled it. Just got a call from my wife on my work # cause my iPhone is still forwarding home hehehe.. Here's my Tip - Don't forget to turn off the forwarding when you leave wherever you forwarded the number. It would be awesome if ther ewas like a time limit or something.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jundette21 Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 That is a great news to those who have iPhone. I am planning to buy my own latest iPhone too, in the end of this month. At least, with what yo have posted I can also enable this feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Krause Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Great tip Vadim. I've been forwarding calls to my home phone ever since I found the feature on Verizon 10-15 years ago!

If that don't work, try another number to test it. might be that number??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexa Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 Couldn't you just use the *73 trick and dial the number like other phones on AT&T have to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vadim Posted November 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 I don't think you can use the *73 / *72 trick on the iPhone to forward calls. You need to use the interface in the menu system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sarah Hastings Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 There should be such shortcuts available, as you forward calls when you are short of time or when you are busy, in a meeting or something. So, browsing so much to forward a call is pointless I think. There must be a simplified way for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cellphoneshopper Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Every phone company makes you pay for forwarding as far as I'm aware. The reason is that the person who calls your mobile number only pays for the call to that number, and you have to pay for the bit between your mobile number and the other number. The caller doesn't pay for both bits as they wouldn't know you've forwarded it. Same principle as international roaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vincentjoseff Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 First of all go to the home screen of you iPhone, then move to the settings menu, then you move to the call settings menu, after completing this just click on the call forwarding button and after that you can forward your call to home or any selected number...
