Call Forward Cell Phone
good day,
i am trying to better understand if there is a limitation on the number calls that can be forwarded from a cell phone that is set to forward calls. in other words, if a call comes into a cell phone that is configured to forward to another number, and that call is answered, how many additional calls can come into the cell phone again and again and be answered.
i am trying to understand if there is in fact a limitation here with the carrier in terms of how many calls can be forwarded and simultaneously active. to better clarify here is an example:
cell number 555-555-5555 is forwarded to landline 777-777-7777. lets assume that 777-777-7777 is a PBX and it has no limitation on number of simultaneous calls it can receive inbound.
call 1 comes into 555-555-5555 and forwarded to 777-777-7777 and extension 100 picks up
call 2 comes into 555-555-5555 and forwarded to 777-777-7777 and extension 101 picks up
call 3 comes into 555-555-5555 and forwarded to 777-777-7777 and extension 102 picks up
and so on...
how does the carrier handle these forwards? what would be the limitation here?

I'd say you're best off checking with the mobile carrier. Depends on how the calls are handled by them, but even then I'd somehow would want to assume there is a limit.
Simultaneously means exact time and the max call to be called forward at exact time is one only.
Normally, if the forwarded call is answered by another tel number, another call can be forwarded.

thanks. i am clear on what a pbx forward is.
what i am trying to understand is if there is a limitation from a carrier perspective on the number of calls that can be forwarded from a cell phone line to another number assuming the "forward to" number can accommodate as many calls as you send to it.

ok. i have tested it and it seems to work with quite a few forwards going. but i figured there has to be some limitation. i have not been able reach one...
Interested to understand how those calls paths are handled at the carrier level. was hoping there is a telecom guru that could chime in on this.

The Google Book above is the basic of telecom.
Nowadays, all voice calls of telecom are essentially VoIP and there is a limit to handle call forwarding on a telecom to telecom basis.

when you set forwarding on the phone, did it first ring the phone, or auto forwarded? I.e. do you have the option to answer or not.
what is it you are trying to achieve? how many calls can the destination answer?
I.e. even if your cell phone/carrier can handle a hundred simultaneous calls (you will likely be responsible for the cost of the forward) how many calls can be handled on the destination?
I would strongly suggest as others to contact your carrier to findout what would it cost you for each forwarded call.

If you have no further question, please do us a favor to close this question.

thanks for all the comments. i suppose in the end the only definitive way to know is to call the forwarded number from as many different phones as possible while leaving each of the calls established on the other end. or, find someone at the provider who can answer the question, which i have not been able to do.

Miscellaneous
A miscellany is defined as a "collection of various pieces of writing by different authors", but it has come to mean something "Of items gathered or considered together of various types or from different sources" or "a collection or group composed of members or elements of different kinds". The word "miscellaneous" comes from the Latin word "miscere", meaning "to mix." You might have heard the expression "a mixed bag," which applies when you don't quite know what you're going to get. More commonly, a miscellaneous group is made up of an odd group of things that don't fit anywhere else.
