UK mobile network Checked September 2026
ParentShield call forwarding
ParentShield doesn't publish instructions for diverting calls, and its help pages don't say whether its child-safe SIMs allow it. It has also removed voicemail from its network, so ask ParentShield before relying on a divert.
- No published divert codes
- No voicemail on the network
- SIM roams across networks
Ask ParentShield whether call forwarding is available on your line:
- Contact ParentShield at [email protected] and ask whether call divert can be turned on for the SIM.
- Ask them to divert unanswered calls to the number you want, and how long the phone rings first.
- Ask whether diverted calls still go through the SIM's call controls and recording.
- Ask whether call divert costs extra.
What to know about call divert on ParentShield
No voicemail to replace
ParentShield removed voicemail from its network altogether after a review of the risks to children, so missed calls have no voicemail to fall back on.
A SIM that roams between networks
ParentShield's roaming SIMs connect to whichever network gives a signal, so the phone may not always be on the same network. This does not establish which divert commands the SIM accepts. Ask ParentShield for instructions for your service.
Built around parental controls
The ParentShield portal lets parents block numbers, block withheld callers and review calls. Ask support whether forwarding is available and how it would interact with these controls.
ParentShield call divert questions
Can you divert calls on a ParentShield SIM?
ParentShield doesn't publish whether its SIMs can divert calls or how. Email [email protected] and ask before you rely on it.
Does ParentShield have voicemail?
No. ParentShield removed voicemail from its network because of the risks voicemail poses on a child's phone, such as bullying messages and voicemail hacking.
What network does ParentShield use?
ParentShield roaming SIMs connect across networks and use whichever one gives a connection. ParentShield says this can mean the phone is on a different network than you expected, which is normal.
Is there a ParentShield call divert code?
ParentShield does not publish one. Ask ParentShield directly rather than trying a code from another network.
