With the Call Divert and Barring functions, you no longer have to miss a call plus have the option to stop receiving any calls. If you're too busy to answer a call, or when your mobile phone is switched off, callers will be directed to an alternative number. Moreover, you may also activate this function if you want to avoid accidentally calling someone.
Call Divert enables you to forward or redirect incoming calls to an alternative number.
