Call Forwarding

Using Call Forwarding, you can redirect all incoming calls to another phone number (local or North American phone number, but not international). You will still be able to make outgoing calls on your phone, but incoming calls will go to the number you indicate.

Call-forwarded minutes are considered part of your airtime as defined by your rate plan. You can forward up to 3,000 minutes of incoming calls per month. Additional minutes are subject to a fee.

If you forward your calls to a number outside of your local calling area, long distance charges are applicable; however, if your plan includes long distance within Canada or the US, these minutes count against your long distance allotment.
