Forward all calls, or only the ones you miss?
Forwarding all calls means your phone doesn't ring and every caller goes straight to the other number. Forwarding only unanswered or busy calls (often called conditional forwarding) lets your phone ring first, and only the calls you can't take move on. Most small businesses that use an answering service choose the second option.
