One way to solve this problem is to use call forwarding.

In this article, we will explain how to forward landline calls to your smartphone without an app.

Especially recommended methods are introduced at the end of the article, so please refer to it.

What are the benefits of forwarding landline calls to your smartphone?

In the first place, what is the merit of forwarding incoming calls addressed to landline phones installed in offices etc. to employees’ smartphones?

Here, let’s check the benefits of using the forwarding function.

You can take calls from anywhere

Allowing landline calls to be forwarded to smartphones allows employees to respond wherever they are.

It is convenient because you can respond to calls addressed to you when you are out of the office for business, traveling, or teleworking.

Since the place of work is not restricted by answering the phone, it may lead to work style reform.

Eliminates the hassle of folding

Incoming calls addressed to fixed phones cannot be answered when employees are out of the office, and it is necessary to call them back after returning to the office.

However, if you can transfer incoming calls to your smartphone, the employee in charge can respond when the other party contacts you.

Therefore, it is possible to save the trouble of folding.

You can respond without making the other party wait, which may lead to improved customer satisfaction.

Prevent mistakes in handling and messages

By connecting incoming calls to landlines directly to the smartphone of the employee in charge, there is no need for another employee to take over or leave a message later.

As a result, human error does not occur when relaying or sending messages.

If there are no mistakes, the caller will not feel uncomfortable, and there is no need to follow up on mistakes, which will help improve work efficiency within the department.

Reduce communication costs

If the call is forwarded directly to the employee’s smartphone, there is no need to call back later.

This leads to a reduction in communication costs.

If you are a company that has made the company mobile phone an extension, you can expect further cost reduction effects because the call charges for forwarding will be free.

How to forward calls from landline to smartphone without app

Next, I will introduce three ways to forward calls from a landline to a smartphone without using an app.

Method 1: Use your carrier’s services

If you use a service provided by a telecommunications carrier, you can forward incoming calls to your landline phone to your smartphone without an app.

With this feature, you can forward incoming calls to your landline phone to your smartphone without the need for an app.
