Call Forwarding and routing incoming calls | Wireless from AT&T, formerly Cingular

Call Forwarding and routing incoming calls | Wireless from AT&T, formerly Cingular

Call Forwarding lets you forward your incoming wireless calls to another phone number. Airtime charges, plus any applicable long distance and/or roaming charges, are incurred for calls forwarded via the wireless network.

With Call Forwarding activated:

  • You can continue to make outgoing calls from your telephone. Incoming calls will be forwarded.
  • When the telephone number to which your calls are being forwarded is busy, callers to your number will receive a busy signal.
  • To change the number to which your calls are forwarded, deactivate the feature. Then, follow the activation instructions to enter the new number.

Call Forwarding is included on all AT&T and former AT&T Wireless rate plans. Forwarded calls are billed airtime from the time the call is answered until it is ended. Each call forwarded may receive, depending on your location, per minute/per call or interconnect charges based on where the call is forwarded. Long Distance charges apply if the call is forwarded to a long distance number. If you are on a former AT&T Wireless rate plan, call forwarding minutes may not apply to your included minutes.

Customers on Former AT&T Wireless Plans

If you are using a phone purchased from the former AT&T Wireless, you may use the following additional Call Forwarding features:

  • Call Forward Immediate—Send all calls to another number instantly.
  • Call Forward Busy—Send calls that reach a busy signal to another number.
  • Call Forward No Reply—Send calls that go unanswered on your wireless phone to another number.
  • Call Forward Not Reachable conditions (GSM phones only)—Send calls elsewhere if your phone is off or not in the service area.
