A method and a corresponding apparatus for forwarding incoming calls according to the current position of the intended receiver. The position is detected by means of RFID tag and corresponding detectors. A plurality of telephone receivers are distributed within the offices of one or more sites of an entity (e.g. a private Company or Corporation or a Public Body) all connected together by means of a switchboard system. A corresponding plurality of detectors are positioned in proximity of the telephone receivers, so that the presence of an RFID tag is detected whenever it comes within a predetermined distance. Such presence of the RFID tag (and consequently the presence of the person carrying the tag to whom a telephone number is assigned) next to a target telephone receiver will then be communicated to a Central Switchboard.
