Had a question on Call Forwarding, but at a System Level. Without using your device is there a way to go into the website and set up the forward from there??? I want to forward calls from my Tablet, which is associated with my old number, to a working device that can answer the actual calls. The tablet can't do that of course...

Any Ideas??

If you have a tablet active with a Mobile Broadband plan, it's considered data only. There are no voice features that can be added to the line. While the mobile number exists, the calling features do not. This includes call forwarding, call waiting, busy transfer, etc. Without these features, even if I tried activating the feature in the switch (possible for regular phones), it would not work. Perhaps some VOIP software will be developed in the future, but right now, there are no voice services available for tablets.

This was a great question! Thanks for posting!
