This can only be done with Verizon's Premium Fios Digital Voice System.

If you can log in at www.verizon.com/fiosvoice then you can forward your calls.

Finish the quick set up wizard (only two questions you need to answer) and then you will find the feature for forwarding calls on the left under the menu item call forwarding. below are the instructions

I've tried the *72, 72# and 1172, and all I get is a busy signal. Am I not eligible to forward calls?
