The call forwarding method you selected when purchasing the number will be set by default, and you can also set it as the standard for your other numbers by ticking the relevant box at the time of purchase. You can set two forwarding methods in your settings – concurrent or sequential – with a choice of timeout for the sequential method.

  9. Select how calls will be routed if there are several types of call forwarding: simultaneously or sequentially.
    Call simultaneously: the call is sent to both directions at the same time.
    Call sequentially: if nobody answers in the first direction within the timeout, the call goes to the second one.

Please note that mobile numbers support only one communication channel. Landline and toll-free numbers include two channels for simultaneous incoming calls by default. Additional channels can be added for an extra fee or upon submitting the required documentation. For details on adding channels or configuring additional call forwarding, please contact customer support.



☎️Forwarding to phone number
This call forwarding method usually charges a fee. The cost of call forwarding to numbers within the same country but on different networks may vary. 
  1. In the call forwarding settings, enter any phone number where you want to receive calls.
    Please note that not all numbers are able to receive calls from abroad. If such restrictions are imposed by the legislation of the country from which the number was purchased or the country of the number to which the call is being forwarded, a successful connection cannot be guaranteed.
  2. Click "Save".

✈️Forwarding to Telegram 
Don’t forget to enable the option to accept calls from everyone in your Telegram account’s privacy settings.
Add the @IncomingCallForwarding account to your contacts in Telegram or send at least one message to it.
  1. In the call forwarding settings, enter a number registered in Telegram or your username (without the @ sign).
  2. Click "Save".

Hover over the "i" icon next to the field to see a hint.


🆓Forwarding to SIP account
You can obtain a SIP account completely free of charge once you have activated your number. In the "Additional" section of your personal account, click on the "SIP accounts" tab.Then click the "Request a SIP account" button. The SIP account will be provided within 24 hours. 
  1. In the call forwarding settings, enter SIP/username@username. 
  2. Click "Save".

For example, if the username for the SIP account is 0000000000, you need to enter SIP/0000000000@0000000000 in the forwarding field.
