Call Forwarding Apps?

[SC03OTT]

All. I have a huge issue with mobile signal in my house. Currently, swapping networks for my personal phone is out of the question just now as I'm in contract. Wifi calling is also unavailable. For work, again swapping networks is out of the question and wifi calling is currently not available but may well be soon.

Anyway, to help in the meantime I'd like to utilise call forwarding. But, I want it to be geography based so when I'm at home it'll forward automatically.

Does anyone use or know of any good apps (preferably free as I'm cheap) that will do this. I need it for both iOS and Android.

Of course, it may well be that I just have to suck it up and go outside for phone calls but any help would be useful.

Ta.

What network are you on?

Tesco for personal, BT for work.

Ok I'm no help

Surely you'd need signal for a) the call to reach your phone so the app can read and redirect it and b) for your location services.

I've used one in the past - that typically I now can't find - where it would just redirect all calls when your phone was connected to a specific wifi network. That's really what I meant when I said geography. If I'm connected to my home wifi then I'll be at home.

Ah my mistake. I read that as no signal or wifi!

BT as in BT Mobile, or o2?

Since both networks you use are MVNO, wifi calling will be an anus

BT Mobile. The wifi calling for that will be sorted by work as there is a pilot project ongoing for soft phones and other solutions both computer and smartphone based. But yeah, it ain't happening for my personal phone until my contract is up and I'll be going elsewhere.

BT Mobile is supposedly working on getting WiFi calling sorted, as part of their under-the-table EE tie-ins.
But once you can, yeah, move to EE / Voda / 3 / o2 and, phone-depending, you'll be good to go.

Certainly a boon over my way.
Just need to remember that you only have a bubble of signal and it wont switch over to cellular or wi-fi routers mid-call

It will if you happen to be in a 4G area (at least on EE)....but then again if your signal is crap and you're relying on wifi calling it then you probably won't have a 4G signal anyway! Lol
