Your phone rings for about 20 seconds before the call forwards.

Turn off — stopping this setup

Turn off only the conditions shown here. This stops that forwarding; it does not necessarily restore your previous voicemail or other destination.

Stopping forwarding is not necessarily restoring the previous voicemail or other destination. Restore recorded destinations separately using your provider's instructions, then test.

After setting up forwarding, call your business number from another phone to check that calls reach your receptionist when you expect. After turning forwarding off, check that calls ring through normally again.

  • Vodafone UK Pay monthly. On Pay as you go you can only divert to voicemail.
  • Vodafone UK diverts to UK landlines and mobiles.

This download contains your destination number. Keep it on your own device; the shared QR/link never includes it.

Optional: all-call forwarding after work

Your finish-work shortcuts

Choose your provider and destination above, then keep these two steps handy. This routine uses all-call forwarding, independently of the individual code mode selected above. You make each switch yourself.

Settings → Apps → Phone → Call Forwarding. Choose the correct SIM/line. Turn on, enter the Forward To number and tap Back. Return here to turn off. Cellular coverage and carrier support are required.

Before starting, note any existing all-calls destination. Turning forwarding off does not restore that old route. Keep your separate busy, unanswered and unreachable settings; don’t use “cancel all”. Check your plan restrictions and forwarding charges.

  • Vodafone UK Pay monthly. On Pay as you go you can only divert to voicemail.
  • Vodafone UK diverts to UK landlines and mobiles.

Enter your own valid destination above to prepare and save the routine. No example number will be saved.

Finish work

Turn on All calls / Always forward to your Infercall number.

Back at work

Use the provider/device instructions to turn off that same all-calls setting, or leave Infercall answering. This stops that route; restore any previous destination separately if needed. Do not use a broad reset to preserve other diverts.

Check before you put the phone away

  1. Follow the confirmation shown on your phone, then test the change.
  2. No verified status code for this routine: inspect the provider app or phone settings.
  3. Call your business number from another phone after each change. Check the expected answer, normal ringing and existing voicemail or overflow.
Save this routine for tomorrow

Save only on your own device. “Save on this browser” stores the provider, destination and device choice locally until you clear it or browser data is removed. A Home Screen shortcut opens the tool, not a carrier command. Use “Load saved routine” here when you return.

iPhone: in Safari, Share → Add to Home Screen → Add. Android: in Chrome’s menu, use the website shortcut / Add to Home screen option (wording varies). You can bookmark this page instead.

iPhone blocks forwarding-code links. Saved contact/speed-dial support for these service codes has not been verified; we don’t offer an installable one-tap dial shortcut. Copy or download the instructions, then use the provider’s manual route.

How call forwarding works

A call comes in to your mobile. What happens next depends on which forwarding you've turned on:

A call comes in
Conditional · most common

1. When you don't answer (after X rings)

Your phone rings→no answer after the ring time→forwards

You still answer when you can. Ring time is set in seconds, roughly 5 seconds per ring, so 20 seconds is about 4 rings.

Conditional

2. When you're busy

You're on another call→forwards straight away

Only calls that arrive while you're on the phone (and on many phones, calls you decline).

Conditional

3. When your phone is off or has no signal

Network can't reach your phone→forwards

Covers a flat battery, flight mode or no coverage.

Unconditional

4. Always (all calls)

Your phone doesn't ring→every call forwards

For after hours, holidays or when you can't take calls at all. If it's on, it overrides the other three.

Types 1 to 3 are called conditional forwarding. Your provider may support only some of them, combine conditions in one command or require app settings. Follow the selected setup and its matching undo. A broad reset can remove voicemail routes too; restore previous destinations separately.

Recommended setup for a business: forward when you don't answer, when you're busy and when your phone is off, where your provider supports those conditions, all to your answering number. With no-answer forwarding, your phone rings first, so you pick up the calls you can, and the rest are still answered.

Ring time by network
  • Vodafone (UK): you choose 5 to 30 seconds in the code (about 1 ring to about 6 rings).
  • EE: you choose 5 to 30 seconds in the code (about 1 ring to about 6 rings).
  • O2: you choose 5 to 30 seconds in the code (about 1 ring to about 6 rings).
  • Three: Three doesn't publish a ring time for unanswered calls, and customers report it varies, so this code doesn't set one.

Call forwarding codes: common questions

How do I turn off call forwarding or cancel a call divert?

Use the Turn off steps for your selected provider and the conditions you enabled. There is no universal cancellation code. A broad reset can also remove forwarding to voicemail. Restore any previous destinations separately, then test from another phone.

What call divert codes does Vodafone (UK) use?

Every code here is from Vodafone UK's own support page. Choose Vodafone (UK) in the provider selector for its activation, turn-off and status instructions. See its ring-time options and plan restrictions alongside the setup.

What call divert codes does EE use?

Standard UK network codes. EE doesn't publish them, but they're the codes its network uses, and EE customers confirm them on the EE Community forum. Choose EE in the provider selector for its activation, turn-off and status instructions. See its ring-time options and plan restrictions alongside the setup.

What call divert codes does O2 use?

O2's own guides publish the turn-on codes. The turn-off and check codes are the standard UK network codes from O2's Community guide; O2 doesn't list them on its help pages.

What call divert codes does Three use?

Standard UK network codes. Three doesn't publish them. Three customers report them working on the Three Community forum, but some say diverts to another number stopped working for them, so test yours after dialling. Choose Three in the provider selector for its activation, turn-off and status instructions. Three doesn't publish a ring time for unanswered calls, and customers report it varies, so this code doesn't set one.

How many rings before call forwarding?

Ring time depends on your provider. Where it supports an adjustable time, choose the seconds in the tool. Otherwise follow the provider’s fixed ring-time note. One ring is roughly five seconds; test the result from another phone.

What’s the difference between conditional and unconditional call forwarding?

Conditional forwarding covers supported unanswered, busy or unreachable calls. All-call forwarding sends every call straight to the destination without ringing your phone. If all-call forwarding is on, it takes priority.

Can I forward only when busy?

Choose your provider, then open the individual forwarding conditions. Some providers combine busy and unanswered calls or require phone settings instead of a code. The selected setup shows the conditions actually covered.

Does my mobile provider support forwarding?

Choose your United Kingdom mobile provider above to see its codes or app instructions, plan restrictions and charges. If it is not listed, check your provider’s current support instructions. Choose your mobile provider

Which type of call forwarding should I use?

You choose. Use “Let me answer first” for the supported busy, unanswered and unreachable conditions, or choose all calls when you want every call to go to your receptionist. Check the coverage shown for your provider.

Does call forwarding cost extra?

It depends on your provider and plan. Read the charges and eligibility notes beside your selected setup and follow its linked sources to confirm your current plan, especially when roaming. A reseller’s rules can differ from its host network.

Can I forward missed calls to an AI receptionist?

Yes. Use your Infercall number as the destination for your provider’s supported forwarding options. Test that calls reach your receptionist when you expect.
