Truly free call forwarding

QQQ

I need to have a phone number which will be redirected to my another mobile number. I can do it with O2 but I will have to pay for any incoming call which is not what I am happy about. Is there any way to have a phone number with redirection for free? Thanks

QQQ

Anyone? :j

Not unless your supplier allows it from any inclusive minutes,as basically your making another chargeable call to divert the first one.

Orange used to do this by "intercepting" calls and forwarding them foc. Calls, not texts.

Not aware of any network who does this now.

So, the best way for free call forwarding is just a second mobile phone in the pocket?

You can get a free 070 number that you can redirect to any mobile or landline (or about 160 other countries) but don't expect anyone on here to like you for it, 070 numbers can cost a fortune to call, from both an ordinary landline and especially a mobile - but it would certainly cost you nothing to receive the calls (just don't necessarily expect many people to use it).

Hundreds of suppliers online, just search.

One of the cheapest (NB - not free) mobile divert numbers, with an ordinary mobile number, would be The Phone Co-op with you paying £2 per month and 7p per minute of any diverted call (charged by the second). Worth always noting text messages are not forwarded.
