Call Forwarding Question
is call forwarding free? and does it essentially forward the call if you dont pick it up?
I get no verizon reception at my home, but every place else is fine. I was looking at forwarding my cell calls to my landline so I could actually start answering my cell phone calls at home.
If you have some time to explain CF a little bit, i would appreciate it.

So if your buddy with cingular called your vzw phone, and your phone is forwarded to your home phone, it would use your cellular minutes for however long he was talking to you on your home phone,
If your buddy has Verizon, and he calls your cell phone, and its fordwarded to your home phone then its still using your minutes because your cell phone is fordwarding it to your home phone (i.e. your cell phone is calling a non vzw phone)
If your buddy has a vzw phone, and he calls your vzw phone, but your phons is fordwarded to your girlfri...

But if your Girl has all your calls fordwarded to her phone then you have bigger problems to worry about 🤣
Can you switch it on and off over the network? I looked online and it said you could do it via dialing #72 or #73.
To deactivate it dial *720.
After you do each one you will hear a "beep, beep, beep" then silence, that will confirm that it has been done.
The *73 thing is "no answer transfer" which means if somebody calls your cell phone and you dont answer, instead of leaving a message it will ring your other phone that you fordwarded it to.
*73: Turn off call forwarding.
*720: Not currently supported, although it will probably also turn off call forwarding.
If I were an agent in a store I would recommend to my users to use *73 from here on out. I'm not saying that it's likely that *720 will turn into Magical Hidden Forwarding That No CSR Can See any time soon, but... well, try dialing the star key followed by random numbers on your phone and see what happens.
