Call Forwarding

Lor2 — Wed, 19 Jul 2023 00:42:12 GMT

Hello

My old S8 has the Call Forwarding function. We will be traveling to the US for a few days. My husband's Ontario phone has US roaming and can receive phone calls. Can I forward my calls to his phone number ? Expecting a phone call from the Doctor I don't want to miss. Otherwise, don't need US roaming.

Thank you

Yes you can. Assuming you can get call forwarding to work (might want to try at home first). My understanding is it hasn't worked well since the VoLTE implementation. Also, if you bring your phone down there and it connects to a USs network, I'm told forwarding will disable.

@Lor2

Yes you can call forwarding but is your doctor in the USA?

No ... my doctor in Toronto will call my number and I assume my husband's phone will ring in the USA????

What does that have to do with it? Their doctor is likely in Canada and will be calling their Canadian number. They don't want roaming so they want to forward calls to their husbands number who does have a roaming plan so they don't miss the call from their doctor. Many doctors appointments happen by phone and video these days, which is nice because they can take place when you're on the road.
