Call forwarding from outside the country

[Mansour_h]

Hi,

i forgot to activate call forwarding before traveling abroad. Is there a way to activate it remotely when the sim card is not working outside Canada? 
thank you.

Unconditional forwarding still works

What you can do is to get a VoIP app TextNow.  You can pick a Canadian phone number from TextNow.  Then before your trip, set unconditional forwarding to the phone number you picked with TextNow.  With that, you can get the call on TextNow anywhere in the world as long as you have Wifi or Mobile Data.

OP is already away from the country.   😥  That said I have used a service in the past that allows call forwarding to be completed from within the online account, it is a fantastic feature.

There is no way to remotely set call forwarding.
You would need to get someone at home to buy a sim and tell you the number and you change it in your account and they put it in a phone and call forward to a Canadian number of your choice.

Regrettably call forwarding does not appear to work around here anymore.
