How a call forwarding QR code works
You turn on call forwarding by dialing a short code from the phone itself. On Verizon that is *72 followed by the 10-digit number, and on T-Mobile it is **21* then 1, the number and #. These codes are easy to mistype. A QR code holds the exact code, so anyone can turn forwarding on by scanning it.
Pick your carrier and service, or switch to Custom code and paste the code you already use.
Forward only the calls you do not answer, calls when you are busy, or every call.
Type the number calls should go to. The tool writes it the way your carrier needs, with or without the leading 1.
Save the QR code as a PNG or copy it, then print it or share it. Scan it with the phone you want to forward.
Why put your forwarding code in a QR code
Anyone on the team can turn it on
Stick the QR code on the office phone, the truck dashboard or in the employee handbook. Whoever closes up scans it and calls go where they should, with no codes to remember and no typos that forward calls to a wrong number.
Forward missed calls somewhere that answers
Call forwarding is only as good as the number it goes to. Forward 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 call forwarding? +
Yes, on most phones. The QR code holds your carrier's forwarding 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 dialer for a link that contains * or #, and every forwarding code starts with *. Choose Plain text under QR code opens. Scanning then shows the code, which you copy, paste into the Phone keypad and call.
Which forwarding code should I use? +
For most businesses, forward the calls you do not answer, so your phone rings first and only missed calls move on. On Verizon, *71 forwards calls you miss and *72 forwards every call, so your phone never rings. Pick your carrier and the tool uses the exact code it publishes.
Do I need to add 1 before the number? +
It depends on the carrier. Verizon wants the 10-digit number, while T-Mobile wants 1 plus the 10 digits. Type the number either way and the tool writes it in the form your carrier 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 carrier 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 carriers use an app or online account instead of codes, and those cannot be put in a QR code.
How do I turn call forwarding off again? +
Dial your carrier's turn-off code from the same phone. The tool shows it under the QR code when you pick a carrier. On Verizon, Xfinity, Spectrum and Visible cell phones, *73 turns forwarding off. On T-Mobile, ##21# turns off forwarding of all calls and ##61# turns off forwarding of unanswered calls.
