The present invention relates to a call forwarding method for a web phone which connects to at least two networks and is mounted with at least two communication ports. According to the call forwarding method, if a call is received at the selective call forwarding mode, the call forwarding mode is checked. If the call forwarding mode is set, the web phone announces such to a calling party, receives a port for call forwarding from the calling party, and conducts the calling forwarding unless the port received from the calling party is not of a busy route. If the web phone is on the automatic call forwarding mode and receives a call, the phone forwards the call to a predetermined number after confirming that the predetermined port for call forwarding is not of a busy route.
