The present disclosure relates to a communication method and a system for converging a 5.sup.th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4.sup.th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as a smart home, a smart building, a smart city, a smart car, a connected car, health care, digital education, a smart retail, and security and safety services. A method and an apparatus for communicating voice calls in a communication system are provided. The apparatus includes a first terminal that is a representative terminal configured to receive a voice call sets up a function for using a call forwarding service with a second terminal that is an auxiliary terminal, when the first terminal detects an occurrence of an event complying with a certain criterion for performing a call forwarding service, to determine whether a call forwarding service with the second terminal is being executed, and to execute, unless the call forwarding service is being executed, the call forwarding service and to transfer a voice call received by the first terminal to the second terminal.

Disclosed is a call transfer setting method, terminal and system, wherein the method includes: two terminals pre-establishing a pairing relationship via a network side; when one of the terminals enables a call transfer function according to a demand of the other terminal paired therewith, the terminal initiating an enabling call transfer request to the network side; the network side searching for the other terminal paired therewith according to the enabling call transfer request of the terminal, and enabling the call transfer function of the other terminal to transfer all calls of the other terminal to the terminal; compared with the conventional call transfer function, the implementation of the abovementioned technical solution is more flexible, and the function can be remotely enabled after the paired terminal is set, without being affected by situations such as whether the phone currently has a signal or not or whether the phone is powered on.

Users are provided control of their communications. Should a call be processed for a user, a text message may be automatically sent as a response to the call. The user may pre-compose different text messages. The user may also compose a custom text message. Regardless, the user's text message is automatically sent as a response to the call.

The present disclosure discloses a method and an electronic device for realizing remote control of call transfer, including: receiving a message sent by a third-party mobile phone; analyzing the content of the message, and judging whether it is a request for initiating call transfer; acquiring a password for initiating call transfer according to the message; determining whether the password for initiating call transfer is correct, if yes, initiating a call transfer mode; if not, sending a failure of call transfer request back to the third-party mobile phone. Therefore, by the method and the system for realizing remote control of call transfer, the problem in prior art that a call transfer function of a mobile phone that is left at a place can only be opened by manually calling the operator may be solved.

This application provides a call service bootstrapping method, an electronic device, and a storage medium. The method includes: detecting, in response to an operation instruction generated when a phone application is enabled, whether a call function is enabled; switching a current user interface to a first bootstrapping interface if the call function is not enabled, the first bootstrapping interface including a first option; switching the first bootstrapping interface to a first dialing interface in response to an operation instruction generated when the first option is triggered; and switching the current user interface to the first dialing interface if the call function is enabled. According to this application, when a user enables the phone application, the user is bootstrapped to enable the call function. In this way, the user can also answer and make calls even if using an electronic device without a call function.
