USING CALL FORWARDING

When you can’t answer the phone or don’t want to be
interrupted, the Omnipoint Call Forwarding feature sends
incoming calls to another number. 

If you don’t answer a call, or your handset is turned off or out of the
Omnipoint coverage area, Call Forwarding is preset to direct calls to
your Answering Machine automatically.  

You can change your Call Forwarding setting to send calls to any
number you want.  (Note: you must include 1 and the area code
when specifying a number).  

Call Forwarding can also be programmed to forward calls in various
ways: 

Forward All Calls.

Forward if “On Busy” (when you’re on a call).

Forward if “No Reply” (when your handset rings, but you
don’t answer).

Forward if “Unreachable” (when your handset is off or out
of Omnipoint’s coverage area). 

You can change your Call Forwarding settings at any time.  For
example, if you don’t want to be interrupted by a call, but you still
want to be able to receive pages, Answering Machine notifications,
and short e-mail messages, you can forward all incoming calls to
your Answering Machine.
