Call Forwarding

With GCI Call Forwarding, your calls can follow you around.

Benefits and Features

GCI Call Forwarding lets your calls find you. Calls coming to your phone are rerouted to a number you choose. You can be visiting friends or relatives, or just be next door helping your neighbor, and you will receive your calls directly.

People trying to reach you will appreciate the ease of having the call forwarded directly to you. Callers don't have to leave messages and wait for you to call back. They don't have to follow a trail of numbers trying to find you. They just call your number, and they're in touch with you.

How Call Forwarding Works

Before you leave home you take a moment to forward your calls to the number where you can be found. Call Forwarding goes into effect immediately. When you return home, it takes just a moment to turn Call Forwarding off and again receive calls at your phone.

If you transfer calls to a location outside your local calling area, you are responsible for toll or long-distance charges to wherever you're forwarding your calls.
