Do you regularly receive calls on your home phone, but are often on the go? Call forwarding from your landline to your cell phone can help.
You can set up call forwarding from your landline to your mobile phone using so-called key codes. This works regardless of what type of phone you use.
To do this, make a call using your landline phone. The key code to dial varies depending on the scenario for which you want to set up call forwarding. There are basically three different use cases:
The destination number is the number on which you want to receive the redirected calls. So if you want to receive the landline calls on your mobile phone, enter your corresponding mobile number.
After you have dialled the appropriate key code, you will hear an announcement over the handset. As soon as you hang up, call forwarding is active.
A notice: In the second case, i.e. if the call is not answered, you can also specify how long your landline phone should ring before the call is forwarded. To do this, add any time value in seconds between 5 and 60 to the key code according to the following pattern: *61*Destination number*Time value#
If you want to deactivate your call forwarding again, you can do this using keypad codes. The three use cases described above also apply here:
Once you have dialled, you will hear another announcement over the handset. Once you have hung up, call forwarding will be deactivated again.
The cost of forwarding the call is usually based on the tariff you have chosen for your landline connection. You therefore pay the same per-minute price as if you were calling yourself from the landline on your mobile phone. The original caller, however, still bears the cost of their call to your landline number.
