How to divert calls to another number on Vodafone

📡 Vodafone how-to

You can divert calls on Vodafone using short dial codes entered directly from your phone's dialler. There are three separate codes depending on the situation: missed or unanswered calls, calls when your line is busy, and calls when your phone is off or out of signal. Each takes about 30 seconds to set up.

What format does the destination number need to be in?

Before you dial anything, format your destination number correctly. Vodafone requires the international dialling code rather than a leading zero. So if you want to divert to 01992 210400, you enter it as +441992210400. Drop the first 0 and replace it with +44. Get this wrong and the divert will either fail silently or route nowhere useful.

How do you divert missed or unanswered calls?

Open your phone's dialler and type the following, then press the call button:

*61*+44XXXXXXXXXX#

Replace +44XXXXXXXXXX with your formatted destination number. This tells Vodafone's network to redirect any call you don't pick up in time. Your phone will display a confirmation message once the divert is active.

How do you divert calls when your line is busy?

If you're already on a call and want other callers sent elsewhere rather than hitting voicemail, use this code:

*67*+44XXXXXXXXXX#

Dial it the same way: open the dialler, type the full string, press call. The network handles the rest.

How do you divert calls when your phone is switched off or has no signal?

For situations where your phone is powered down or out of reach entirely, the code is:

*62*+44XXXXXXXXXX#

This is the one to set if you're heading somewhere with poor coverage and want calls to land somewhere useful instead of failing.

Does call divert cost anything on Vodafone?

For pay monthly customers, diverted calls are generally included as part of your plan, though it's sensible to check your specific contract terms. PAYG customers get less leeway: as hellocomtec's Vodafone knowledge base notes, "if you're on a PAYG service any calls diverted to another number will come off your minutes." If your PAYG allowance is thin, diverts could eat through it faster than you'd expect.

What if you use Vodafone OneNet?

Business customers on the Vodafone OneNet platform have a different route. Log in to the OneNet portal, find the call forwarding section, enter the destination number or pick one from your address book, then select Save. No dial codes needed.

A quick reference for the three codes

*61*+44XXXXXXXXXX#, divert on no answer or missed call
*67*+44XXXXXXXXXX#, divert when your line is busy
*62*+44XXXXXXXXXX#, divert when your phone is off or unreachable

You can set all three to the same destination number if you want a single fallback for every scenario. Each code works independently, so activating one does not affect the others.

If you're on a PAYG service any calls diverted to another number will come off your minutes.
