Maybe your cell phone battery is about to die but you don’t want to miss an important call? Maybe you will be at a vacation home and don’t feel like toting your cell phone along? Whatever the case may be, your answer is to have your incoming calls forwarded to another number. When people dial your cell phone number, they will be redirected to a number of your choice. Not to worry, you can still make outgoing calls using your cell phone.

Be sure to check with your carrier as additional charges may apply for forwarded calls.
