To make a call requirement easier the call forwarding option allows you never to miss an important call. You can schedule it always go forward, or you can schedule it only when the condition is met. Here’s how you can do that on your Android Here, I’ll explain all possible options to complete the task on your Android.

How to setup call forwarding

The easiest means of initiating call forwarding on any Android telephone is through the Setting application. Because almost every manufacturer that produces Android phones installs its shell, you have to look for settings on your own. Typically in most phones call forwarding will be under calls then settings in the phone. Depending on the make and model of the phone, you may have to search under Applications or System Applications for Call Settings.

If you are unable to find the Call Settings menu, open Dialer, and on the top-right corner, you shall see three dots. Next, tap on the Settings and then tap on the Call Settings (or Calling Accounts). Another way how you can find “call forwarding” is by typing it in the top search bar in the Settings app.

On the other hand, you can have your phone forward calls to a different line they you do not answer the call. Finally, the only way that you can set call forwarding is when you are on another call through the “When Busy” selection.
