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.
