What is the code for call forwarding?

It depends on the carrier. On Verizon and Visible, dial *72 and the number to forward every call and *73 to stop; Verizon's *71 forwards calls you don't answer or can't take because you're busy. On AT&T, dial *21*, the number and #, and #21# to stop. iPhone, Google Fi and Google Voice use settings rather than codes.

Every code and setting cites a support page, almost all from the carrier or platform itself: Verizon, AT&T, Visible, Apple, Google Fi and Google Voice. Codes that only appear on another company's page, such as AT&T's conditional codes listed in Google Voice help, are labelled as such.

How to find your call forwarding code

  1. 01

    Pick your carrier or phone

    Choose the carrier your line is on, or iPhone, Google Fi or Google Voice if forwarding is set in settings or an app.

  2. 02

    Choose what should forward

    Every call, only the calls you miss, calls while you're busy, or calls while your phone is off. For a business line, missed calls is usually the one you want.

  3. 03

    Dial it and test it

    Enter the number to forward to, dial the code it builds from your own phone, wait for the confirmation, then call yourself from another phone and let it ring out.

Common questions

What is conditional call forwarding?

Conditional call forwarding moves a call on only when something stops you answering: the line is busy, the call goes unanswered or your phone is off. For unanswered calls, your phone still rings first. Verizon's *71 is one example; it forwards when you're busy or don't answer after three or four rings.

How do I turn off call forwarding?

Use the off code for your carrier. On Verizon and Visible it is *73. On AT&T it is #21#. On iPhone, turn off Call Forwarding in Settings. On Google Fi, choose Don't forward in the app. Then call your number from another phone to check.

Why is the code different on my phone?

The code depends on your carrier's network. Verizon and Visible use *72, AT&T uses *21*, and Google Fi and Google Voice use an app or settings instead of a code. If your carrier isn't listed, check its own help page rather than a code meant for another network.

Is call forwarding free?

Verizon says there is no monthly fee on most plans, though forwarded calls use your minutes if you don't have unlimited minutes. The AT&T, Visible and Google Fi pages we cite don't state a price, so check your plan before forwarding a busy business line all day.

Does this tool store the number I enter?

No. The code is built in your browser and nothing you type is sent to LLDTEK or saved.

Forwarding moves the call. Someone still has to answer it.

LLDTEK's agents answer voice, SMS and web chat and book into the calendar you already use, whether that is Vagaro, Square, Booksy, Zenoti, Mindbody or OpenTable. How your line reaches the agents is covered on a 30-minute demo, and pricing is quoted after it.
