Cordless phones can not 'forward' a call to an outside line.
Forwarding must be controlled by the ATT, Verizon, or landline provider.
Please contact your provider to determine if you have call forwarding feature built into your service package.

Then, follow the instructions of your landline phone provider.
Here is the instructions for Verizon:


Activating Call Forwarding
You can activate Call Forwarding whenever you want your calls to be sent to another phone, including a mobile phone. Once activated, all your calls will be sent to the forwarding number you request. Each time a call is forwarded, you will hear one short reminder tone on your home phone, but you will not be able to answer the call from your home number.

1. Lift your telephone's receiver and listen for a dial tone.
   
   
2. Press .
   In some areas you must use
   Dial 1172 on rotary or pulse-dialing phones.
   
   
3. When you hear the tone, set or change the Call Forwarding number by dialing the telephone number where you want your calls transferred.
   You will hear the number you entered ring. When the number is answered, Call Forwarding is activated.
   
   
4. If the call is not answered or the line is busy, hang up and call the number again within two minutes.
   You will hear two short tones telling you that Call Forwarding is activated.
   
   
5. Hang up the receiver.

Take your incoming phone line and plug it into the place that says "line" on your fax machine. Plug another phone cord into where it says "phone" and connect this to your telephone. Test to make sure you have chosen the right places by dialing a phone number to fax to and listen for the dial tone. If you get a dial tone, then you have set it up correctly.

On the fax machine look for the button that says "menu". Push it and use the up and down arrows to navigate the options on the display. Look for fax set up and press "ok" or "enter" on the fax machines keyboard to access this area. Look for "number of rings" and change the fax machine to a number of rings that is less then your voice mail box if you have one. Then close and save your choices.

Have someone send a test fax by dialing your phone number for the line connected to the machine. The fax machine will pick up on the number of rings set and automatically begin receiving and printing a copy of your incoming fax.

You cannot use magic jack.

You can also choose to manually answer an incoming fax if you see that your display on the fax machine says "ringing" or incoming" you can push the "start" button and this will start receiving your incoming fax.

dial tone but mobiles ahve no dial tone when making or receiving calls.....

constant dial tone and cant dial out or receive calls

try to make an incoming call to the phone in question by dialling the phone number from a mobile or whatever.if the phone does not ring then the line itself is not connected or has a wiring problem.
so if no dial tone and no incoming calls then check the line itself
