Call forwarding codes in Germany, for every network
On Telekom, Vodafone and O2, dial **004*, then +1 and your 10-digit Vicem number, then #, and press call to forward the calls you decline, miss or can’t take. If your network turns that code down, dial the three single codes for busy, no answer and no signal instead.
Vicem numbers are US numbers for now, so forwarding from Germany sends calls to a US number. Your phone company may charge extra for that: check with them before you turn it on.
What do I dial on Telekom?
| When | Dial |
|---|---|
| When you decline or are on a call | **67*+1 Vicem number# |
| When you don’t answer | **61*+1 Vicem number**20# |
| When your phone is off or has no signal | **62*+1 Vicem number# |

| Turn it off | ##004# |
- If your network rejects that code, dial the three codes below one at a time instead.
- If your voicemail answers before Vicem, also dial the “don’t answer” code: it gives you 20 seconds, then Vicem picks up.
