Lebara and call forwarding

KevinG

Having moved loads of phones to Lebara I now find they don't support call forwarding, which would have been nice to know in advance as it's pretty important for one of the phones. They say, and I quote, "The team is working on it but we do not have the update as when it will be launched." Is there any way of knowing which of the other cheap deals listed on MSE support call forwarding? It's not one of the features listed.

You may be best first looking for a deal via MSE, then going onto the provider websites to look in more detail at any plans that catch your eye.

That is exactly what I have been doing but it's not something the providers mention unless you go digging deep. Anyway, I have now found a source for the information so will be changing one of the SIMs at some point.

Might it be useful to let others, who may be looking for the same 'feature', know where that source information is to be found?

It was probably this site, which was pretty much the first hit on Google so not exactly hard to find https://www.simsherpa.com/networks/call-forwarding-costs

Same team that's working on getting wi-fi calling working perhaps?

Just tried to forward calls to a different number on my Lebara SIM and it worked just fine on my Samsung. Are you using an iPhone? Perhaps it's not compatible on certain phones?

Probably is.
So don't hold out any hope for a fix anytime

I've only ever used Android phones. I haven't tried it recently, might have another go but the need has passed TBH.
