Call forwarding codes by carrier

By The NoBeep team at Duck & Shark. Updated .

Short answer

For no-answer forwarding, the common GSM code is **61*number#, with your forwarding number in place of “number.” Carriers use different codes, and some use phone settings instead. Pick your carrier below before dialing anything; its listed steps are the ones to follow.

We'll fill it into any codes or steps that need it.

Pick your carrier to see available codes and steps.

What the forwarding options mean

  • No answer: sends a call onward after your phone rings.
  • Busy: sends calls onward when your line is busy.
  • Unreachable: sends calls onward when your phone is off or out of service.
  • All calls: forwards immediately without ringing your phone.

Test before you rely on it

Call from a different phone and test the exact situation you configured. Keep the turn-off steps handy in case calls go somewhere unexpected.

Are Verizon forwarding codes different from GSM codes?
