Forward Calls on Lumia 520 to another phone
You have the option of forwarding calls from your phone to a voicemail box or to another phone. As can be seen below you can set the options even further depending on the circumstances.
Settings > Network+ > Set > Call Settings
Your final options are to forward all calls, when you dont answer or when you are busy or when you cant be reached. The call forward settings are easy enough to understand simply by following the pictures.
Forward calls to your voicemail
If you want to use this then you will need to contact your mobile phone service provider as they have to offer a voicemail service in order to use this on your mobile phone. You will need to get the voicemail number from your provider and then have this handy when you insert the settings to the phone.
Phone> > 
> Settings
The settings option will not require your voicemail number which you got from your service provider. Once this has been setup you will need to look at the top where you set the call forwarding and set the call forwarding to the voicemail box. If need you might have to switch on use default voicemail number for the mobile phone. Note that the voicemail will normally have a password. If you want to check your voicemail then you should click on the phone and then click on voicemail and it will call the voicemail number after you enter the password.
A good example of setting up Voicemail is from the AT&T mobile phone network.
– Type in your password and it normally needs the # sign after the password;
– Once you have listened to your messages it takes you back to the main menu;
– To change your personal settings Tap 4
– The voice prompts will provide you with the options;
This is a basic overview of the AT&T mobile phone network in the US. Your numbers and options may not be the same but it gives you a good idea as to how it will work in your country. The basics will still be the same so it should be easy to do. Note the Voicemail icon needs to be pressed to get to the voicemail on your mobile phone.
