Can I call forward my cell phone calls to another number if I don't have my phone with me?

Accidentally left my cell phone where I won't be able to get to it for a few days. Can I forward it's calls to another number if I don't physically have the phone? What about texts?

Provider should be able to answer. IDK, sorry!

If you call the provider and you know your credentials and can identify yourself, yes. It's easy.

Texts, no. Unless your provider has online text messaging, which is a rare thing.

Does your carrier do call-forwarding ? No one here even knows who your carrier is and by now, you could have called them and found out (and already have calls forwarded if they offer this).

Red Pocket. Thought I ask here first before being on hold for 30 minutes.

Not sure how it worked out but some of the capabilities don't extend to mvnos like RP. I have RP "gsma" (att) service and they aren't able to modify the number of rings before transfer to voicemail - something att cell customers can adjust.

typically you need to do it on the handset first. There is a *21* code for ATT and a different one for Verizon.

Red pocket is on verizon i believe?

If you do this, some carriers charge per-minute for forwarded calls, even if you otherwise have "unlimited" voice.
