Edelleenlähetykset

Edelleenlähetykset, often translated as call forwarding or call diversion, is a telecommunication service that allows a phone number to be redirected to another number. This service is commonly offered by telephone companies and mobile carriers to their subscribers. When a call is made to a number with call forwarding enabled, the network automatically transfers the incoming call to a pre-programmed destination number.

There are several types of call forwarding. Unconditional forwarding redirects all incoming calls immediately. Busy forwarding redirects calls only when the line is busy. No-answer forwarding redirects calls if the subscriber does not answer within a set number of rings. Some systems also offer forwarding based on specific conditions or time of day.

The functionality of call forwarding can be activated and deactivated by the user through their phone's settings or by dialing specific codes provided by the service provider. This feature is useful for various purposes, such as directing business calls to a mobile phone when out of the office, or sending calls to voicemail when unavailable. It can also be used to consolidate calls from multiple lines to a single point of contact. The implementation and exact codes for managing call forwarding can vary depending on the specific telephone network or device.
