How can I divert incoming calls on my Lumia phone?
For Ray
As the Lumia handsets by Nokia (Soon to just be
Microsoft) start to fill in the business gap that Blackberry is leaving
behind, business users are starting to go the Windows OS way. The
operating system is a great platform that offers the security and
facilities needed in the workplace. As the usage of these handsets
increases, so does the need for help and advice. Therefore, I have
included below a step by step guide for one such business on how to setup
call forwarding on this device. Looking online, there are several people that
believe this facility is not available on the devices. As you can see by
the steps below, Windows is definitely a great contender for Blackberry's heavyweight belt in the
corporate world.
Call forwarding for Lumia;
Follow
the steps below in order to forward your incoming calls to another phone or the
voice mailbox:
Activate
Call Forwarding:
1.
On the Start screen, tap Phone > ... > settings.
2.
Set the Call forwarding toggle switch to On.
3.
Enter the number to which you want to forward your
calls and tap Save.
4.
Your network operator getting the Call forwarding
information.
5.
The Call forwarding icon appears when All calls
forwarding is turned on.
Deactivate
Call Forwarding:
1.
On the Start screen, tap Phone > ... > settings.
2.
Set the Call forwarding toggle switch to Off.
3.

Here
is an overview of some often used Call Divert options:
If
you want to extend the time before a divert activates you can add **[time in
seconds] after the number. So to activate divert for all calls to number 12345
after 30 seconds you would enter: **61*12345**30# CALL.
The
codes mentioned are what most operators use, but they can be different so check
with your operator. Also if these codes are not supported by your network you
will get a 'Unknown request' or 'Request denied' from the network as a
response.
Note
that the call settings do not work on 4G. To manage the diverts, select one of
the options (depending on your Lumia model):
1.
Go to Settings > mobile+SIM > SIM settings > SIM, and select Highest connection speed and tap 2G.
2.
Go to Settings > mobile network (or
cellular) and select Highest connection speed and tap 2G.
