Call forwarding guide

How to forward your calls on Telstra, Optus and Vodafone.

The exact codes to forward the calls you miss to another number, plus how to set the ring time, check it's working and turn it off. Copy, dial, done.

Your codes

Pick your phone. Copy the code.

Most businesses only want the calls they miss forwarded, so your phone still rings first. That's what these codes do.

Auxily clients: use the number in your welcome email. It fills into every code.

Telstra mobile

Dial each code in your phone's keypad and press call. You'll see a message on screen confirming it's set. Do all three, so calls still get through when you miss them, when you're on another call and when you've got no signal.

Rings for 20 seconds first, then forwards. Change the 20 to 15, 25 or 30 if you want.

Putting MessageBank back also resets your ring time to Telstra's default of 15 seconds.
Before you rely on it

Test it in two minutes.

01

Ring yourself

From a different phone, call your business number. Don't answer it.

02

Let it ring out

After the ring time you set, the call should move across and be picked up.

03

Check the details

If you're an Auxily client, the job details land in your inbox within a minute or two.

No codes

Rather use your phone's settings?

iPhone

Settings, then Apps, then Phone, then Call Forwarding. Turn it on and put in the number.

Heads up: this forwards every call and your iPhone stops ringing. For missed calls only, use the codes above.

Android

Open the Phone app, tap the three dots, then Settings. Look for Calls or Supplementary services, then Call forwarding.

Pick When unanswered, When busy and When unreachable, and put the number in each. The menu names change a little between brands.

Questions

Call forwarding, sorted.

Yes. With forwarding on missed calls, your phone rings as normal for the ring time you set. If you pick up, nothing changes. If you don't, the call moves across.
