Call Forwarding - Variable

Allows you to dial a special code to have your calls redirected from your telephone number to another telephone number. The subscriber will pay additional toll charges when forwarded to a long-distance number.

Lift the handset and listen for the dial tone. Push *72 on your touchtone phone (1172 for rotary phone). Again, listen for dial tone. Now, if forwarding calls to a local number, dial that 7 digit number, or if forwarding calls to a long distance number, dial 1+ the 10 digit number. The phone you’re forwarding calls to will ring and must be answered to complete the call forwarding setup

If there is no answer, or if the line is busy, hang up and repeat the previous steps. Upon customer request, call forwarding variable/unconditional can require someone to answer at the forwarded number. Also upon customer request, once you have activated Call Forwarding, the phone will make one short ring each time a call is forwarded. You can still make outgoing calls from this phone.

Lift the handset and listen for the dial tone. Push *73 on your touchtone phone (1173 for rotary phone). Listen for two beeps. Call Forwarding is now deactivated and calls will ring on your phone.

If you have the Speed Calling Feature, you may use your Speed Calling codes when you are programming your Call Forwarding calls. The subscriber will pay additional toll charges when forwarded to a long distance number.
