How a call divert QR code works
You switch on a call divert by dialling a short code from the phone itself. On EE that is **21* then the number in +44 form and #, and on a BT landline it is *21* then the number and #. These codes are fiddly to type and easy to get wrong. A QR code holds the exact code, so anyone can set up the divert by scanning it.
Pick your network and service, or switch to Custom code and paste the code you already use.
Divert only the calls you do not answer, calls when you are busy or unreachable, or every call.
Type the number calls should go to. The tool puts it in the form your network needs, such as +44.
Save the QR code as a PNG or copy it, then print it or share it. Scan it with the phone you want to divert.
Why put your divert code in a QR code
Anyone on the team can switch it on
Stick the QR code on the office phone, the van dashboard or in the staff handbook. Whoever locks up scans it and calls go where they should, with no codes to remember and no typos that divert calls to a wrong number.
Divert missed calls somewhere that answers
A divert is only as good as the number it goes to. Divert the calls you miss to Jodie, the AI receptionist, and every caller is answered 24/7, with the details sent to you by text and email. See how call transfers work.
Frequently asked questions
Can a QR code set up a call divert? +
Yes, on most phones. The QR code holds your network's divert code as a phone link. On Android, scanning it opens the Phone app with the code typed in, so you only press call. On iPhone, Apple blocks phone links that contain * or #, so choose Plain text: the camera shows the code, and you copy it into the keypad.
Why does the QR code not dial on my iPhone? +
iPhones will not open the dialler for a link that contains * or #, and UK divert codes all use them. Choose Plain text under QR code opens. Scanning then shows the code, which you copy, paste into the Phone keypad and call.
Which divert code should I use? +
For most businesses, divert the calls you do not answer, so your phone rings first and only missed calls move on. On EE that is **61* then the number and *20#. Diverting all calls sends every call straight on and your phone never rings. Pick your network and the tool uses the exact code it publishes.
Do I need +44 in the number? +
Some networks want it. EE asks for the number in +44 form, while BT landlines use the number as you would dial it at home. Type the number either way and the tool writes it in the form your network needs.
Is my phone number stored anywhere? +
No. The QR code is made in your browser. The number you type is not sent to us, and if you open the tool from a link with a number in it, the number is removed from the address bar once it has been read.
My network is not in the list. Can I still make a QR code? +
Yes. Use the Custom code tab and type the code exactly as you would dial it, including the number. Some providers use an app or online account instead of codes, and those cannot be put in a QR code.
How do I turn the divert off again? +
Dial your network's turn-off code from the same phone. The tool shows it under the QR code when you pick a network. On EE, O2 and Vodafone mobiles, ##002# cancels every divert at once. On a BT landline, #21# turns off the all-calls divert.
