Call forwarding is one of the most underrated features on the iPhone. This carrier-specific functionality can be used to divert and forward calls to a third number while you’re busy or the phone number is unreachable.
This helps ensure you don’t miss that important call from your family, friend, or office. Here’s what you need to know on how to forward calls on iPhone.
Before discussing how to divert phone calls from one iPhone to another, note that the process varies depending on your device and carrier.
The built-in iPhone call forwarding service is only available in the US on GSM networks, which include carriers like AT&T and T-Mobile. Here’s how to do it:
All calls on your iPhone will be now forwarded to the mentioned number.
If you want to turn off call forwarding at any point of time, just disable the toggle and you’ll be able to start taking calls again.
Some carriers also let you turn call forwarding on or off by visiting their website. You must choose the appropriate conditions to set up call forwarding from your dashboard there. Also, you can’t transfer calls to an international number.
If your device is getting cellular service through an older CDMA network like Verizon or US Cellular, you can’t enable the service from your iPhone’s settings. You’ll need to use forwarding codes, also called carrier codes, to forward calls to another number on your iPhone.
However, CDMA is nearing non-existence. So, you may upgrade your SIM card to the latest 4G/5G network for seamless connectivity.
The forwarding code varies on your carrier:
There are also other codes that let you forward calls based on certain conditions. So, you will never miss any important phone calls, whether the call is left unanswered, your iPhone is unreachable due to poor network connections, or you are busy on another phone call.
Aside from using call forwarding, you can also enable call waiting. This feature forwards calls to voicemail on your iPhone.
Phones with dual sim only allow call waiting for incoming calls on one line unless the other has Wi-Fi calling enabled and you have a data connection.
Wrapping up…
Call forwarding ensures you won’t miss another crucial call by transferring it to another iPhone or number available, whether you’re busy talking at the moment, unreachable, or away from your phone. Did the codes work for you? Let us know below!
