Question

how do i activcate call fprwarding from my home phone?

Answer 1

If your phone is programmed to do this...

lift the receiver, and dial *72....when you get a dialtone, dial the # you want to forward to 1-x*x-x*x-XXXX.

When you want to deactivate, lift the receiver and dial *73.

Answer 2

Tricky at times. Here is why. First, you have to be subscribed to the service, 'Call Forwarding'.. Now to forward a call, dial *72 then the number to forward to. When it is answered, it will then forward to that number. IF NO ONE ANSWERS, you must dial *72 and that number A SECOND TIME, to make it work. When you have successfully done this, you will hear a beep-beep tone. To turn off, dial *73 from your home phone.

Answer 3

I work for the phone company, so this will work. Once u dial *72 from your home phone, you dial the number where u are fwding the calls. That other phone will ring, answer it and be sure the connections stay in effect for at least 6 seconds. When u want to unforward it, dial *73 from your home phone. (PS it wont work unless u have that feature on your line.)

Answer 4

Call your local phone service provider, they will explain. they could also disable it for you.
