*72 Call Forwarding

I get terrible reception at my home. Sometimes, I use *72 and foreward
my calls to my home phone. What charges am I incurring? Is it per
minute, or a flat fee per call. I don't think I'm using minutes while
talking. Thank you for your answers.

You are using airtime for each call forwarded to the house phone from the
cell phone. The charge is per minute (and any portion of a minute.)

Obviously, you are not using airtime when calling outbound from the house
phone.

Hope that helps.

Thank you. So there are no other charges other than airtime?

Nope, shouldn't be, but it could vary by market.

There is one other exception, where are you forwarding your calls to?
Somewhere within your local area, or LD (outside of your area, and even
inside the us if you have a local plan but it forwards to somewhere outside
your area), or internationally? In those instances you may get zapped LD
along with airtime. Hard to say exactly since you didn't give details on
your plan/where you forward to.

According the verizon brochure and their web page, forwarded call use
minutes from whatever time bucket involved. If you have *used* this,
you can refer back to your itemized statment and check for I believe
code *o* calls and check their billing details.

I'm glad this thread popped up. I have a friend who lives long
distance from me, but my cell is local to both him and my home phone.
Now, I realize I can forward calls to my house, and not have to
struggle to talk with the phone clipped to the top bedroom shelf.

Thanks to both of you.
