How Do I Set Up Call Forwarding on My Verizon?

Call forwarding is a relatively simple process that allows you to forward calls from your Verizon landline to a separate line, like a cellphone. This can be useful for several reasons. Usually, people set up call forwarding to get around the inconvenience of having one phone number for both work and personal use.

What is Call Forwarding, and What Are the Benefits of Using It?

Call forwarding is a process that takes calls from one number and forwards them to another number. There are several reasons why this service might be needed or come in handy, but some of the most common uses for call forwarding include:

• You have more than one phone number and want to avoid carrying around multiple handsets
• You want to avoid letting specific numbers go through on your primary phone number
• You want to take calls from your secondary number without it being revealed

How Do I Set Up Call Forwarding on my Verizon Landline?

Setting up call forwarding on your Verizon landline is relatively simple. You start by dialing the same numbers that you would use to make a regular call, but at the end, you need to add specific details about what you want to do with the rings. After this process is finished, all your calls will be forwarded to another number immediately upon ringing.

To have all your calls transferred to another number, dial *72 + the number you want to forward your calls to, then press send and wait for confirmation.

How Can I Make Sure That People Can't Forward Calls Onto My Verizon Landline?

One of the most common questions people ask about call forwarding is stopping others from doing it themselves. By default, call forwarding is turned off on all Verizon landlines, but if you want to turn it on for your phone number or make any changes, dial *73 + the number you wish to forward your calls to and press send. This will activate the forwarding of calls immediately after they ring through. You can reach out to the Verizon customer support team for further assistance.

Are There Any Other Benefits of Call Forwarding My Verizon Landline?

Even if call forwarding cannot directly protect you from the threat of having your phone stolen, it does have many other benefits that can potentially outweigh this risk. For example, call forwarding is excellent for people who need to contact you even when you are out of town or working late. By simply calling your landline and leaving a voicemail, these people will be able to get in contact with you even if your phone is not around.

How Does Call Forwarding on My Verizon Landline Work?

Call forwarding is one of the most accessible services offered by Verizon, but it does require that you have a working phone number, which means that you will not be able to use it until your service is active. Since all calls are forwarded after they ring through, they will be dropped if there is no other phone number in the forwarding list.
