How to Forward Your AT&T Cell Phone

Always Forward (All Calls)

• Open your phone’s dialer.
• Dial: **21* followed by the 10-digit Answering Legal number, then #.
  • Example: **21*8001234567#
• Press the call/send button.
• Listen for a confirmation tone or message, then hang up.

Turn Off Forwarding

• Dial: ##21#
• Press the call/send button.

To Forward Only When You Don’t Answer (Rollover Forwarding)

• Dial: **61* + Answering Legal number + #
  • Example: **61*8001234567#
• To adjust ring delay before forwarding, dial:
  **61*8001234567**30#
  • The “30” sets it to 30 seconds; you can choose 5–30 seconds in 5-second increments.

Cancel Rollover Forwarding

• Dial: ##61#

Tips

• Make sure voicemail is disabled or delayed longer than the forwarding delay to avoid conflicts.
• Test forwarding after setup by calling your own number from another line.
