Forwarding your landline to your mobile phone for business use

In today's fast-paced business world, flexibility is key. Whether you're heading to a meeting or working from a coffee shop, staying reachable for your clients is crucial. Forwarding your landline to your mobile phone is the perfect solution. With this feature, you're not tied to your office and won't miss any important calls or business opportunities. 

In this article, we’ll explore the benefits of call forwarding, how it works, and why it’s a smart choice for freelancers and small business owners who are often on the move. This way, you’ll always ensure you're professionally reachable by phone, no matter where you are. 

Forwarding a landline to your mobile phone offers several benefits, allowing you to stay professionally available without sacrificing your work-life balance: 

• Always reachable, wherever you are: Whether you’re on the move, working from home, or on vacation, call forwarding to mobile ensures you’re always reachable. You won’t miss any important calls
• Maintain a professional image: Even when you’re not in the office, having a landline number helps you maintain a professional image. Clients call your landline, but you answer the call on your mobile phone. A landline number creates a professional impression and builds trust.
• Easily keep work and private life separate: With call forwarding, you can better separate work and private life. You use one mobile device for both business and personal calls, but with different phone numbers. This way, you know when a call is business-related, and you can use your landline number on WhatsApp Business. Smart features ensure that your work-life balance is protected. For example, you can set business hours on your landline number, so you won’t be disturbed during personal time. You can also forward calls to multiple phone numbers when you’re unavailable.

You can’t just forward a landline number to your mobile phone without some setup. First, you need a landline number and an external provider that can forward the number to mobile. Rinkel is such a provider where you can get a landline number and have it forwarded to your mobile phone, but how does it work exactly? 

Rinkel manages the entire forwarding process for you. All you need is a subscription, and we will take care of the rest. 

You might wonder how the forwarding process works. Let me explain it as simply as possible. Rinkel uses the GSM network to forward to your mobile phone, just like your mobile calls, but it doesn’t work together with your mobile provider. This is how it works: 

1. Someone calls your landline number, which is forwarded to your mobile number. 
2. The call reaches the Rinkel network. Our systems check where the call needs to be forwarded to. 
3. Rinkel calls your mobile number and connects the two calls. 

1. The Rinkel app sends a signal to Rinkel when you want to start a call. 
2. Rinkel calls your mobile number. 
3. Once you pick up, Rinkel dials the desired number. 
4. Once the recipient answers, Rinkel connects the two calls. 
5. Rinkel acts as an intermediary between the two calls. 

Forwarding calls to your mobile phone not only offers flexibility but also includes several useful features to enhance your experience. Here are a few Rinkel features that can help you make the most of your landline number: 

• Call forwarding​: Create your unique call plan with the call forwarding feature. When your business number is called, you decide which mobile number the call should be forwarded to. You can include multiple mobile numbers in the calling plan and choose whether the phones ring simultaneously or one by one.
• Business hours: Set the availability of your business number and decide what happens to calls outside your business hours. Protect your personal time by specifying when your landline number is reachable.
• Call menu: Direct callers to the right person or department with the call menu. You can link different mobile numbers to different options in your menu.
• Caller ID: With caller ID, you always know whether an incoming call is business-related or personal. This helps you manage your calls better and provide better service.
