What is No Answer/Busy Transfer?
With this calling feature, you can have incoming calls answered by another phone whenever your wireless phone is busy or remains unanswered after three or four rings. With this option, your phone will ring unless you’re on it. This calling feature is not available in some areas. Airtime charges apply to all no answer/transferred calls in accordance with your Calling Plan, even if you forward your calls to a landline number.

How much does No Answer/Busy Transfer cost?
Airtime charges in accordance with your Calling Plan apply to all forwarded calls, even if you forward your calls to a landline number.  There is no monthly fee on most Verizon Wireless plans (a fee may apply on some retired plans.)  Long distance is not charged on forwarded calls if your calling plan includes long distance.  If your plan does not include long distance, then charges may apply.
