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.
