Enabling your cell phone to forward voice mail can be handy when you are not in a position to either listen to the message and do not want to take the chance of losing the message because of accidentally erasing the message or misplacing the phone. Voice mail forwarding involves sending a voicemail message to either an email address or an alternate phone number. Some cell phone providers, such as T-Mobile, offer voice mail forwarding as an add-on to basic voice mail service, while others, such as Sprint, offer this service as a standard voice mail feature.
