2. Press *72 (On a rotary phone, dial 1172.)
3. Listen for the dial tone.
4. Dial the number where you want your calls forwarded.
5. When the phone is answered, your Call Forward is in effect.
If the line is busy, or there's no answer:
6. Hang up.
7. Within two minutes, repeat steps 1 - 4 above.
You'll hear a confirmation tone, to let you know your Call Forward is now working.

1. Lift the handset and listen for dial tone.
2. Press *73. (On a rotary phone, dial 1173.)
