Abstract
A call forwarding system that prevents unwanted call forwarding activations from taking place. The system requests approval prior to activating call forwarding. The approval is obtained by sending a request communication to the destination to which calls are to be forwarded. The destination has the option of accepting the request for call forwarding or rejecting the request. The call forwarding may be applied to phone calls between electronic devices and to forwarding of video communication sessions over computer networks.
