Remote call forwarding

In telecommunication, a remote call forwarding is a service feature that allows calls coming to a remote call forwarding number to be automatically forwarded to any answering location designated by the call receiver.

Customers may have a remote-forwarding telephone number in a central switching office without having any other local telephone service in that office.

The main purpose for this service is to provide convenience and cost savings to the callers. The call recipient wants its callers to avoid having to dial long distance (and therefore increased costs for the call).
