- Listen for a stutter dial tone followed by a regular dial tone.
- Enter your forwarding number.
- When the phone is answered by a receptionist, let them know you’re simply forwarding your lines, and disconnect.

How to Turn Off Call Forwarding:
- Listen for a dial tone, and dial *73.
- Listen for 2 short tones, then a regular dial tone.
