What are the steps to forward telephone calls from a landline to a cell phone line?

To forward telephone calls from a landline to a cell phone line, follow these general steps, which may vary depending on your service provider: Dial the activation code provided by your landline service provider (such as *72) on your landline phone. Enter the phone number of the cell phone where you want calls forwarded. Wait for a confirmation tone or message indicating that call forwarding has been set up. Test the call forwarding by making a call to your landline; it should be forwarded to your cell phone. Note: To deactivate call forwarding, dial the deactivation code provided by your landline service provider (such as *73) on your landline phone.


Explain the difference between pulse and tone How does the pulse work compared to tone?

I'm guessing your talking about telephone. The pulse system: When you push a number on your phone, it transmit a certain amount of pulse. the receiving circuit will count the number of pulses that your telephone transmited to determined that number that was pressed. The tone system: When you push a number on your phone, 2 different tones (or sinus) are transmited. There are 4 lines and 3 columns on the keypad and there are 1 tone for each line and 1 tone for each column. So when you push "1", the first line's tone and the first column's tone are both transmitted at the same time. The receiving circuit listens and figure out the number you pushed by analyzing the 2 tones. The tone style is also known as "DTMF" Older phones with rotary dials generate pulses that may not be recognized by by modern DTMF-only systems such as Internet based VOIP phone services, and some fibre optic (FIOS) phone services. In order to use a pulse-only phone on a DTMF (tone-only) phone service you will need a pulse to tone converter like the Oldphoneworks LPT-310 Pulse to Tone Converter (www.oldphoneworks.com), or the Rotatone Pulse to Tone Converter (www.rotatone.com).

Why does a landline give dial tone but a cellphone does not?

When you lift the receiver on a landline telephone, the telephone switching office has to connect your line to special equipment that turns the clicks (on a rotary-dial or pulse-dial phone) or sounds (on a touch-tone phone) into a telephone number so that it can connect your call. The dial tone is an indication to the caller that the system is ready to accept a telephone number. Normally, you get dial tone immediately when you pick up the phone, but in an emergency when thousands of people are trying to make calls simultaneously, you may have to wait your turn before you get a dial tone.* Also, if you wait a long time without dialing a number, the telephone switch will take you off the dialer circuit so that it can use that equipment for someone else's call; that's when you hear the "howler" that alerts you that your phone has been left off the hook.The way that a cellphone dials is completely different. You enter the whole number on the phone and press "send," which sends the number as a packet of digital data on a completely different radio channel from the one that carries your voice. Since you aren't ever connected to a dialer circuit, there's no need to have a dial tone.* In an emergency, when the telephone system is overwhelmed, you should wait to make any non-essential calls. If you must make a call from a landline, pick up the receiver and wait until you get dial tone, even if it takes a minute or more. Do not hang up and pick up again; that will only move you to the back of the queue.

What is touch tone dialing?

Touch Tone was a trademarked name used for the system technically known as DTMF, or Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency, dialing. In DTMF, pressing each key on a telephone dial produces two different tones. Each row and each column of the dial is assigned a specific frequency (pitch) of tone, so the combination of the two tones uniquely identifies the key that was pressed. The telephone switch receives and decodes the tones in order to process the call. This is in contrast to pulse or rotary dialing, in which a series of electrical pulses or clicks are sent through the telephone wire, either by turning a rotary dial or by generating the clicks electronically. The telephone switch counts the number of clicks to get each digit that is dialed.
