What is Call Forwarding?
Call forwarding is a feature of telephone systems that enables an inbound call to be redirected to another phone number or destination such as voicemail. Developed before the advent of mobile phones by Ernest J. Bonanno, call forwarding initially allowed people who were not present at their landline location to receive calls at another location. Call forwarding is a feature still offered by telecommunications companies.
