With cell phones being everyday accessories, just about everyone has a cell phone on which they receive most of their calls. Despite this, many people still have landline home phones, and juggling a cell and home phone can be more of a nuisance than a convenience. Thanks to modern technology, there's a solution to this problem. It's possible to forward cell calls to a landline so that there is only one phone ringing at home or the office (and fewer missed calls in work places that do not allow personal cell phones). Cell providers have made forwarding calls an easy task, and most of the major providers use the same basic steps to forward calls.

After budgeting and carefully monitoring your cell phone minutes, you still may find yourself asking, "Where did my air time go?" Unfortunately, unexpected phone calls do arise and when their significance is of top priority, you must answer or make that phone call. Promotional codes claiming to offer AT&T users free air time just do not work, and can be punishable by the law--a mess you would rather find yourself uninvolved in. Fortunately, you can obtain free minutes from AT&T by choosing a plan that offers unlimited minutes for a cheap monthly rate.

Typically, caller IDs marked "Restricted" are from people or businesses who have blocked their names and/or phone numbers from appearing on recipients' caller ID displays, and caller IDs marked "Unavailable" are from numbers that your carrier was unable to identify. Techniques are available that are both free and fee-based, which can block restricted and unavailable calls (as well as other blocked, or masked, calls), so they won't ring through to your cell phone.
