How call forwarding works

A call comes in to your mobile. What happens next depends on which forwarding you've turned on:

A call comes in
Conditional · most common

1. When you don't answer (after X rings)

Your phone rings→no answer after the ring time→forwards

You still answer when you can. Ring time is set in seconds, roughly 5 seconds per ring, so 20 seconds is about 4 rings.

Conditional

2. When you're busy

You're on another call→forwards straight away

Only calls that arrive while you're on the phone (and on many phones, calls you decline).

Conditional

3. When your phone is off or has no signal

Network can't reach your phone→forwards

Covers a flat battery, flight mode or no coverage.

Unconditional

4. Always (all calls)

Your phone doesn't ring→every call forwards

For after hours, holidays or when you can't take calls at all. If it's on, it overrides the other three.

Types 1 to 3 are called conditional forwarding and are usually set together. None of the networks here publish a single code that turns on all three, so set each one: the tool gives you a code for each. To undo everything, use the cancel code where your network has one (##002# on Vodafone, EE, O2 and Three, ##004# on T-Mobile, *73 on Verizon), or turn off each type you set.

Recommended setup for a business: forward when you don't answer, when you're busy and when your phone is off, all to your answering number. With no-answer forwarding, your phone rings first, so you pick up the calls you can, and the rest are still answered.

Ring time by network
  • Telstra: Telstra forwards unanswered calls after 15 seconds by default.
  • Optus: you choose 5 to 30 seconds in the code (about 1 ring to about 6 rings).
  • Vodafone (Australia): the network sets the ring time; it isn't set in the code.
  • Vodafone (UK): you choose 5 to 30 seconds in the code (about 1 ring to about 6 rings).
  • EE: you choose 5 to 30 seconds in the code (about 1 ring to about 6 rings).
  • O2: you choose 5 to 30 seconds in the code (about 1 ring to about 6 rings).
  • Three: Three doesn't publish a ring time for unanswered calls, and customers report it varies, so this code doesn't set one.
  • Verizon: Verizon forwards unanswered calls after 3 to 6 rings. You can't set the ring time with a code.
  • AT&T: no code for unanswered calls; set it in your phone's call forwarding settings.
  • T-Mobile: you choose 5 to 30 seconds in the code (about 1 ring to about 6 rings).

Call forwarding codes: common questions

How do I turn off call forwarding or cancel a call divert?

Use the Turn off code for your provider and the type of forwarding you enabled. There isn't one universal cancellation code: for example, Verizon uses *73 while Vodafone Australia lists #21# for all-calls forwarding. Check the provider's notes before cancelling every divert, because this can also remove forwarding to voicemail. Call your number from another phone afterwards to check the result.

What is the call forwarding code for Telstra?

Telstra uses ** then the forwarding code, *, the number, then *11#. To forward calls you don't answer, dial **61*NUMBER*11#. Use 67 for busy, 62 for unreachable and 21 for all calls. Turn it off with ##61# (or ##67#, ##62#, ##21#) and check it with *#61#. Telstra forwards unanswered calls after 15 seconds by default.

What is the call forwarding code for Optus?

Optus uses ** then the code, *, the number. For calls you don't answer, add ** and a ring time: **61*NUMBER**20# rings for 20 seconds first (Optus lists 05, 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30). Use **67*NUMBER# for busy, **62*NUMBER# for no coverage and **21*NUMBER# for all calls. Turn each off with ## then the code and #, for example ##61#.

What is the call forwarding code for Vodafone Australia?

On a Vodafone plan, dial **61*NUMBER# for calls you don't answer, **67*NUMBER# for busy, **62*NUMBER# for unreachable and **21*NUMBER# for all calls. Turn one off with #61#, #67#, #62# or #21#, or cancel every divert with ##002#. Vodafone prepaid services can only forward to voicemail or Call Catcher.

What are the call divert codes in the UK?

All four UK networks use the same standard codes. Dial **61*+44NUMBER# to divert calls you don't answer, **67* for busy, **62* for when your phone is off or has no signal, and **21* for all calls. Turn one off with ## then the code and # (for example ##61#), check it with *# then the code and #, or cancel every divert with ##002#. The ring-time format differs: Vodafone uses **61*NUMBER*10*SECONDS#, O2 **61*NUMBER*11*SECONDS# and EE **61*NUMBER**SECONDS#. On Three, customers report the ring time can't be set reliably.

What is the call divert code for EE, O2 or Three?

EE and Three don't publish divert codes, and O2 only publishes the codes to turn a divert on. The standard UK codes work on their networks: **61*+44NUMBER# for unanswered calls (EE adds **SECONDS before the # for ring time, O2 adds *11*SECONDS), ##61# to turn it off and *#61# to check. On Three, turn Wi-Fi calling off before dialling, and if the code doesn't take, use your phone's Call Forwarding settings or call 333. Three's price guide says it charges for each diverted call.

What is the call forwarding code for Verizon?

Verizon uses its own star codes. Dial *72 and the 10-digit number to forward all calls, or *71 and the 10-digit number to forward only calls you don't answer or that arrive while you're busy (Verizon forwards after 3 to 6 rings). Dial *73 to turn forwarding off. Verizon only forwards to US numbers, and if you don't have unlimited minutes, forwarded calls are billed like normal calls.

What is the call forwarding code for AT&T?

AT&T publishes one code: dial *21*, the 10-digit number, then # to forward all calls, and #21# to cancel. For busy, unanswered or unreachable calls, AT&T points you to your phone's call forwarding settings (on Android: Phone app > Settings > Calling accounts > Call forwarding). AT&T bills forwarded calls for the length of the call, and long distance or roaming charges may apply.

What is the call forwarding code for T-Mobile?

T-Mobile uses **61*1NUMBER# for calls you don't answer, **67*1NUMBER# for busy, **62*1NUMBER# for when your phone is off or out of range, and **21*1NUMBER# for all calls, where NUMBER is the 10-digit number. To set the ring time, add ** and 5 to 30 seconds before the #, like **61*1NUMBER**20#. Turn each off with ## then the code and #, or dial ##004# to reset all forwarding. Mint Mobile publishes the same codes.

How many rings before call forwarding?

It's set in seconds, not rings, and one ring is roughly 5 seconds. Many networks let you choose 5 to 30 seconds in the code: Optus, Vodafone UK, EE, O2 and T-Mobile. Telstra forwards after 15 seconds, Verizon after 3 to 6 rings, and Three doesn't publish a ring time. 20 seconds (about 4 rings) gives you time to answer without callers waiting too long.

What's the difference between conditional and unconditional call forwarding?

Conditional forwarding only moves a call on in a certain situation: you don't answer, you're on another call, or your phone is off or has no signal. No-answer forwarding lets your phone ring first; busy and unreachable forwarding don't wait for you to answer. Unconditional forwarding (all calls) sends every call straight to the other number and your phone doesn't ring. If both are on, all-calls forwarding wins.

Can I forward only when busy?

Yes, on most networks. Use the busy code on its own, such as **67*NUMBER# (T-Mobile writes it **67*1NUMBER#). Calls then forward only while you're on another call, and on many phones when you decline a call. On Verizon, busy and unanswered calls are one setting (*71). AT&T doesn't publish a busy code, so use your phone's call forwarding settings.

Do Boost, amaysim, ALDI, giffgaff and other resellers use the same codes?

Mostly, yes. Resellers run on one of the big networks and use its forwarding codes. In Australia, Boost, Belong, ALDI Mobile, Everyday Mobile and Exetel run on Telstra; amaysim, Coles Mobile, Dodo and SpinTel on Optus; and TPG, iiNet, felix, Kogan, Lebara and Lycamobile on Vodafone. In the UK, giffgaff, Tesco Mobile and Sky Mobile run on O2; VOXI and Lebara on Vodafone; iD Mobile and SMARTY on Three; and Lyca Mobile on EE. In the US, Visible, Total Wireless, Spectrum Mobile and Xfinity Mobile run on Verizon; Cricket on AT&T; and Mint Mobile and Metro on T-Mobile. Google Fi sets forwarding in its app rather than with codes. Where a reseller publishes its own codes, like Boost, TPG and Mint Mobile, the tool uses those. Some charge extra for forwarded calls: amaysim and Coles Mobile list 32c a minute, and ALDI Mobile needs Pay As You Go credit.

Which type of call forwarding should I use?

Most businesses use 'when I don't answer', so your phone still rings and only missed calls move on. Add 'when I'm on another call' and 'when my phone is off' to catch the rest. Use 'all calls' only when you don't want your phone to ring at all, like on holiday.

Does call forwarding cost extra?

It depends on your plan. Telstra says call forwarding is included in plans with unlimited calls, and Vodafone Australia says there's no extra cost to forward calls within Australia. In the US, Verizon bills forwarded calls like normal calls if you don't have unlimited minutes, and AT&T bills them for the length of the call. Check your plan if you're not sure, especially when you're overseas.

Can I forward missed calls to an AI receptionist?

Yes. Infercall gives you a phone number to forward to. Use the 'when I don't answer' code with that number, and calls you miss are answered 24/7: questions get answered, details are taken and work can be booked in.
