this article you will be able to utilize your phone completely except your
incoming calls. Also this method works for any smartphone platforms like
Android, Windows phone, iPhone, Blackberry, etc.
Below are the step you need to follow
First
step
is to get missed call alert numbers of your phone operator. But if you are
already using the missed call alert feature then you need to check in the
number in Call Settings > Call forwarding > Call forwarding when not reachable. If you are unable to find the number then contact your network service

option “Always forward” or “Call forwarding unconditionally” this
option present at Call settings > Call
forwarding. Select the above option and Enter the missed call alert number
which you get while following First step. As soon as you complete the step and
