What is the “Call-Forwarding” feature all about?
One optional Screen Number service is “Call-Forwarding.” If you enter any US Phone number in the “Call-Forwarding” box on your “MyAccount” page (and click “save”), then any calls to your Screen Number will now ring directly to the number you enterred. So you can actually receive calls on your cell phone (or work, home, etc.) without the caller knowing your real number because they dialed your Screen Number and the call was simply call-forwarded to the number you selected. Call-forwarding costs 5 cents per minute, but you get $1.00 signup credit (20 minutes of free call-forwarding) to test it out and see if you prefer to receive the calls on a real phone (using call-forwarding) or to just send the calls to your Screen Number voicemail (the basic, default setup).
