How to divert calls on Vodafone
Send missed calls on your Vodafone mobile to another UK number while your phone still rings first. Vodafone lets you divert to any UK landline or mobile, with one catch for Pay as you go.
Checked 11 November 2026 against Vodafone's own help pages. Networks do change things, so check with Vodafone if something doesn't match.
Replace NUMBER with the number you want calls to go to, for example your CallVest number. Type the code into your phone's keypad like a phone number and press call. You'll see a message on screen confirming it worked.
Divert when you don't answer
**61*NUMBER#
Your phone rings first. If you don't pick up, the call goes to the number you set. This is the one most trades use.
Divert when you're on another call
**67*NUMBER#
A second caller goes to the number you set instead of voicemail.
Divert when there's no signal or your phone is off
**62*NUMBER#
Lofts, basements and rural jobs. Calls go to the number you set.
All three at once
**004*NUMBER#
Sets no answer, busy and no signal in one go.

*#61#

Turn all diverts off
##002#
Cancels every divert. Your phone goes back to normal voicemail.
On Pay as you go? Read this first
Vodafone says Pay as you go customers can only divert calls to voicemail, not to another number. If you're on Pay as you go and want missed calls answered by a person or an answering service, you'll need a Pay monthly or business plan.
Vodafone's format
Vodafone's own instructions use the number in international format: replace the first 0 with +44. So 07700 900123 becomes +447700900123, for example **61*+447700900123#.
To turn off just the missed-call divert, dial ##61#. To check it, dial *#61#.
How do I change the ring time on Vodafone?+
Vodafone's instructions: dial **61*, the number you're diverting to, then *10*, then the number of seconds, then #. For example **61*+447700900123*10*20# rings for 20 seconds before diverting.
Does Vodafone charge for diverted calls?+
A diverted call is treated as a call from your phone to the number you divert to. On Pay monthly plans with unlimited UK minutes that's included. Check your plan if you have a minutes limit.
iPhone: is there a setting instead?+
Yes: Settings, then Phone (or Apps, Phone), then Call Forwarding. But the iPhone setting forwards every call, so your phone won't ring at all. If you want your phone to ring first and only missed calls to be forwarded, use the **61* code from the keypad instead.
Android: is there a setting instead?+
Yes. Open the Phone app, tap the three dots, then Settings, Calls (or Supplementary services), Call forwarding, and choose When unanswered. The wording varies a little between Samsung, Google Pixel and other phones.
The code isn't working+
Check you've typed it exactly, with the number starting 07, 01, 02, 03 or +44, and pressed call. Some business tariffs and work phones have diverts locked by the account admin. CallVest customers: tell us your network and we'll set it up and test it with you on the setup call.
