What to know about call forwarding on SaskTel
Setting the ring time
SaskTel counts 5 seconds per ring. Its own example, *61*3065551212**15#, forwards unanswered calls after 15 seconds, or 3 rings. For 4 rings use 20; leave out the ** and seconds and calls move after 5 rings.
Pause, resume or clear
SaskTel has two ways to switch a forward off. #61# cancels it but keeps the number, so *61# can resume it later; ##61# cancels it and forgets the number. ##002# clears every forward at once. To put voicemail back on busy, no answer and unreachable, dial *004*13065206245#.
Home phone busy and no-answer forwarding
SaskTel's Call Forward Busy (*90, off *91) and Call Forward Don't Answer (*92, off *93) forward to a number set up when you subscribe. Only SaskTel can change that number, and it charges to do so. Don't Answer waits 18 seconds (3 or 4 rings) by default; dial *94, then a number from 2 to 9, to change the rings.
Forward calls from your phone's settings
Your phone may also offer call forwarding in its settings, depending on your device and plan. The iPhone Call Forwarding switch sends every call on. Use a supported no-answer option if you want your phone to ring first.
iPhone
- Open Settings, then Apps, then Phone (on older iOS, Settings then Phone).
- Tap Call Forwarding and switch it on. If you use two SIMs, choose your business line first.
- Tap Forward To and enter the number calls should go to.
- Go back. A forwarding icon shows in the status bar while it is on.
Android
- Open the Phone app, tap the three-dot menu, then Settings.
- Tap Calls (or Supplementary services, depending on the phone), then Call forwarding.
- Choose When unanswered so your phone rings first and only missed calls move on.
- Enter the number, tap Turn on, and pick the right SIM if asked.
If the code doesn't work
"Connection problem or invalid MMI code"
The network did not accept the request. Check you have signal, turn off Wi-Fi calling and airplane mode, then dial the code again exactly as shown.
"Setting activation failed" or "unsuccessful"
The network refused the divert. Some plans block diverts to other numbers, and some networks want the number in international form. Check the notes on this page, or set it up in your phone settings instead.
Calls still go to voicemail
Voicemail is itself a divert, and only one can be active for each condition. Setting a new divert replaces the voicemail one. If calls still reach voicemail, cancel all diverts and set yours again.
