Since you've mentioned forwarding calls to other number, here I am going to provide you specific information on how you would be able to forward incoming calls to other number using Comcast Call Forwarding.
Call Forwarding has two types:
1. Call Forwarding Selective- Allows subscribers to pre-select incoming calls to forward based on the phone number of the calling party. Numbers to be forwarded are entered by the customer. 12 incoming numbers can be forwarded to another location. Calls from other numbers will not be forwarded. Voicemail will not pick up calls that have been forwarded.
To Activate: Dial *63
- A menu of options will guide you to add, delete or review the numbers on your list. The last number called may be added to your forwarding list.
To Deactivate: Dial *83
- When prompted, press 1 to turn the feature off.
2. Call Forwarding Variable - If you don't want to miss an important call, you can forward incoming calls from your home phone number to another number where you can be reached. Selecting this will forward ALL incoming calls to the other number.
To Activate: Dial *72
- Press *72.
- Listen for a dial tone. Dial the number of the forwarding location (Remember to dial 1 and/or the area code before the number if it’s necessary to place the call.).
- Call Forwarding is activated as soon as someone answers. If nobody answers the other line, repeat the above steps and Call Forwarding will be activated (a tone confirms activation)
To Deactivate: Dial *73
- A tone confirms deactivation
If you leave Call Forwarding on and receive a call after returning home, you'll hear a "ring splash," a short ring indicating that the call is being forwarded. You cannot answer the ring splash. It merely reminds you to deactivate Call Forwarding now that you're home.
