Diverting calls to another phone number will reduce the chances of you missing a call, especially if you plan to travel away from your landline for a certain amount of time. For example, maybe you're going on vacation, or you're facing an emergency situation that requires you to be away from your landline. To divert landline calls to mobile, you should first consult with your landline service provider to make sure this option is available. In most cases, you can enter the numeric code using your landline to activate call forwarding. However, the code varies depending on the telephone service provider and the area of residence.
