      • If necessary, tap the Keypad tab.

      • You are now on the "Call Settings" page
      • If you don't see the "Call Forwarding" option, then select "Supplementary Services"
        • On some phones, the "Call Forwarding" is under "Supplementary Services", on some it is already there on the "Call Settings" page

      • On the "Call Forwarding" menu, tap on "Forward when busy"
