Before you change anything: check and record the current destination for each selected condition. Confirm plan restrictions and charges, and select the correct SIM.
The activation codes below use an example number. Enter your own valid domestic destination above; copying activation or downloading this setup stays disabled until then.
Reference code coverage: Unanswered + Busy. Do not treat this as covering every conditional call.
Enter this command manually in your dial pad, then press Call/Send and wait for carrier confirmation. This page never dials a code.

*712025550123Phone off or no signal — no published activation code: Verizon doesn't publish a code for forwarding only when your phone is off or has no signal. Use *71 for unanswered and busy calls, or ask Verizon on 800-922-0204.
Verizon forwards unanswered calls after 3 to 6 rings. You can't set the ring time with a code.
Warning: this provider's off command stops all forwarding, not just this setup. It can remove other forwarding too. Record existing settings and ask your provider before using it if you need to keep them.
All-forwarding off command — not just the conditions above
*73Stopping forwarding is not necessarily restoring the previous voicemail or other destination. Restore recorded destinations separately using your provider's instructions, then test.
No reliable status code is published for these conditions. Inspect the provider app or phone settings, or ask the provider.
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.
Every code here is from Verizon's own support pages. Verizon uses its own star codes, not the ** codes other networks use.

This download contains your destination number. Keep it on your own device; the shared QR/link never includes it.
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.
Ask your provider for a routine that preserves any existing conditional forwarding. The published *73 off code is shared by immediate and conditional forwarding; this tool does not offer it as an all-calls-only daily shortcut.
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.
Enter your own valid destination above to prepare and save the routine. No example number will be saved.
Turn on All calls / Always forward to your Infercall number.
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.
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.

Want missed calls answered? Forward them to Infercall. It picks up 24/7, answers questions and books the work in.
Start with your websiteA call comes in to your mobile. What happens next depends on which forwarding you've turned on:
You still answer when you can. Ring time is set in seconds, roughly 5 seconds per ring, so 20 seconds is about 4 rings.
Only calls that arrive while you're on the phone (and on many phones, calls you decline).
Covers a flat battery, flight mode or no coverage.
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.
Replace NUMBER with the number you want calls to go to.
