Which call forwarding plan is right for you?

In this article:

You’ve narrowed it down – you know you want your incoming calls to your phone number to route to your cell phone.  That's call forwarding. In short, call forwarding is where you secure a telephone with NumberBarn, and any time someone calls that number, it rings to an external landline or mobile number.

But, how do you decide which NumberBarn Call Forwarding plan to select?

Answer this one quick question below to narrow down which plan will best fit your needs:

What is the duration of the phone calls you take per month?

1. 5 hours or less of phone calls a month
2. More than 5 hours of phone calls a month
3. Don’t take phone calls – just need voicemail
