  • Call Forwarding: Forward or re-direct your phone calls to an alternate phone number and never miss a call. Please note: If calls are forwarded to International numbers, long distance charges will apply. If calls are forwarded to a cell phone, any minutes or charges will be applied against the cell phone's wireless plan.
