Setting up call forwarding on an iPhone in the U.S. depends on which carrier you're on; the rules are different for Verizon and Sprint versus AT&T and T-Mobile. The reasons for this difference are technical, but all you need to know is that you can choose from two setup methods based on the service provider. In either case, enabling call forwarding is quick and easy. Show

Code Setup for AT&T and T-MobileAT&T and T-Mobile also have call-forwarding codes you can dial from the phone keypad if you prefer that method, although each company uses different codes. For T-Mobile accounts, enter *21 followed by the number you want to send your calls to. If you use AT&T, dial 72* followed by the new phone number. Listen for the confirmation tone or message. For example, to forward your calls to 1 (555) 555-1234 on a T-Mobile account, dial 21*15555551234.

Turn the feature off in the Phone section of the Settings app if you used the app to turn it on. If you instead used the 72 code, dial 73* with no phone number afterward to turn off call forwarding. To cancel T-mobile call forwarding enabled with the 21 code, use ##21#. Listen for the tone or message that verifies call forwarding is off. Your calls now come to your iPhone as usual.
