Some of you may already know.

Some of you may be thinking, “Isn’t it possible to respond to incoming calls with a tablet instead of a smartphone ?”

So, in this article, I will explain how to transfer landline calls to a tablet . We will also look at the recommended call forwarding services that will lead to improved work efficiency , so please refer to them.

Call forwarding service is also available on tablets

First of all, if you use a call forwarding service, it is possible to handle forwarded calls on your tablet.

Don’t worry, you can also use your tablet if you skip the incoming call on the landline phone installed in the company .

A call forwarding service is a service that allows you to forward incoming calls addressed to a specific number to another number.

Basically, it is a service provided by carriers such as docomo and KDDI, and it is possible to register not only one number but also multiple numbers as forwarding destinations.

By using a call forwarding service, there is the advantage of reducing the work of handling calls and increasing the work efficiency of employees.

In addition, it is also a point that you will not miss a business opportunity because you will be less likely to miss incoming calls.

General usage of the service

Here, let’s check the usage conditions and usage procedure when using the call forwarding service on a tablet .

Terms of use for tablets

A phone number must be registered in order for the tablet to be forwarded to a landline .

However, some tablets may not have phone numbers set.

In this case, before using the call forwarding service, it is necessary to obtain a phone number from the carrier .

Please note that it may not be possible to obtain a phone number depending on the tablet model and contract details.

Here, we will explain how to get a phone number with a SIM free tablet and Wi-Fi model.

How to get a phone number on a SIM free tablet

SIM-free tablets can acquire a phone number by contracting with a carrier.

Specifically, communication contracts are concluded with three major carriers such as au, docomo, and SoftBank, and low-cost mobile phone companies (MVNOs) such as UQ mobile and mineo.

However, not all SIM-free tablets can obtain a phone number . You have to be careful because some tablets do not have a call function .

There are also mobile phone carriers that offer usage plans without calling services.

Even if the tablet is equipped with call function, you cannot get a phone number if the contract plan does not include call service .

When signing a contract, be sure to check whether the plan supports voice calls.

How to get a phone number with Wi-Fi model

The Wi-Fi model cannot get a normal phone number.

However, IP phone numbers starting with “050” can be obtained through a dedicated app. Whether or not it can be obtained depends on the OS of the tablet, so it is also necessary to check in advance .

Also, some call forwarding services do not allow calls to be forwarded to IP phone numbers .

Note that if you have already purchased a Wi-Fi model tablet , you will have to find a call forwarding service with an IP phone number.
