How to turn off call forwarding on an iPhone, or turn it on to receive calls on a different phone

Your iPhone includes a simple call forwarding feature that lets you redirect all incoming calls to a different number. 

When you set up call forwarding, your iPhone won't ring and all of its calls will go to another phone. If you set up call forwarding temporarily, it's easy to turn off so your iPhone gets calls again. 

Here's how to turn the feature on or off.
