Forwarding codes

Call forwarding codes for every US carrier

Conditional call forwarding sends a call somewhere else only when you do not answer, are on another call, or your phone is off. It is how missed calls reach Grace. In the codes below, 5551234567 stands for the ten digit number calls should go to. When you sign up, we show the code with your number already in it.

Good to know

Dial the code on the phone whose calls you want forwarded, then press call. You do it once.
Carriers can change codes or use different ones on some plans. If a code is refused, ask your carrier for "conditional call forwarding" or "no answer and busy call forwarding".
Forwarding the calls you miss takes the place of your voicemail greeting: callers reach Grace instead.
Forwarded calls can count against your plan's minutes. On unlimited plans this makes no difference.
