Call forwarding codes

Most phones forward every call with **21*, the number, then #, and only the calls you miss with **004*, the number, then #. ##002# turns every forward off; ##004# turns off the missed-call ones. Verizon and the brands on its network use *72 (every call), *71 (missed calls) and *73 (off). Pick your phone company below for the exact code.

Dial this code

**004*number#

Type the number above and the code fills in. Inside the code it is written as 1 and the 10-digit number (or + and the country code for a number abroad).

This one code covers all three: busy, no answer and phone off. Your phone still rings first.

Turned down? You may be on Verizon’s network: try *71 number.

To turn it off, dial ##004#

To turn off every forward, dial ##002#

Dial it on the phone whose calls you want to forward, then press call. Then call your phone from another phone to check it works.

Your phone company counts a call forwarded to a number in the US like a call you make: it uses your plan’s minutes.

To a number abroad, your phone company may charge international rates for each forwarded call. Check with them first.
