How do I divert calls to Voicemail?
Call forwarding is your go-to move for redirecting incoming calls to a different number - whether you’re busy, out, or just need a break. And the best part? It’s built right into every unlimited call plan!
What’s Call Forwarding All About?
- Call Forward All Calls (Unconditional): Instantly sends every call to your chosen number.
- Call Forward No Answer: Forwards calls if you miss them after about 15 seconds.
- Call Forward Unreachable: Redirects calls if your phone’s switched off or if you’re out of network range.
- Call Forward Busy: Passes calls along when you’re already chatting on another call.
How to Set Up Call Forwarding
Option 1: Using Your Dial Pad
Most phones let you set this up directly via your dial pad. We recommend using manual codes to keep things crystal clear.
To Turn On Call Forwarding:
- Open your dial pad like you’re about to make a call.
- Enter:
****[Forwarding Code][Phone Number]10#

To Turn Off Call Forwarding:
- Open your dial pad.
- Enter:
##[Forwarding Code]#
Example for Call Forward Busy: ##67# - Press the call/send button.
To Check Your Call Forwarding Status:
- Open your dial pad.
- Dial:
*#[Forwarding Code]#
Example for Call Forward No Answer: *#61# - Hit call/send to see your current status.
Option 2: Using SMS (For Unconditional Call Forwarding Only)
