    Hi,
    I brought this up on the Mobile Phone forum but I thought I would raise it here.
    I am having trouble with coverage with the Three network at the moment and, with a family member in hospital I need to be contactable at all times.
    The easiest method is to pay the remaining months on my current contract and then go with a sim only plan with VF, but that's going to cost me 600 euro right away.
    So, I have bought a Oneplus Nord N100, Dual Sim, and I will have the Vodafone and Three sims running away, simultaneously.
    The plan then is to have a redirect on the Three sim and send those calls to the VF network, making me available at all times, even on my original number.
    Anyone see an issue with this as a plan?
    I can set up the redirect through the phones call settings, and that should be that.
    I will still be able to contact folk as before, just that the hospital will always be able to find me now...
    Or at least, that is the plan
    Any informed advice is always welcome

    Just check with Three and make sure the calls you divert to your new Vodafone number come out of your minutes so there is no extra costs.

    Make sure you setup the diverts for each of the different stages like below:

    **62*number# Phone switched off/out of coverage (not reachable)
    **67*number# Phone busy (busy/no connect)
    **61*number# Phone not answered (no reply)
    **21*number# At all times (unconditional)

    Things like SMS won't forward, it will only be calls.

    Why not give the person the Vodafone number and then you won't need to redirect?
