Call forwarding lets you redirect incoming calls to another number, which is convenient if there are times when you would rather have calls ring on a different phone.
The Samsung Galaxy S10 lets you set up call forwarding in a variety of ways - there's unconditional call forwarding, in which calls always get automatically rerouted to another line, as well as a number of conditional call forwarding options.
These include forwarding calls when your Galaxy S10 is busy, when you don't answer the phone, and when the phone is simply unreachable (such as if it's turned off).
Here's what you need to know to forward calls on your Galaxy S10.
