How to set up call forwarding on your Verizon cell phone: Follow these simple steps!

Step 1: Using the keypad on your cell phone, dial *72 (do not press call yet.)

Step 2: After dialing *72, enter the 10 digit telephone number you would like your calls forwarded to.

Step 4: Press call and listen/look for a success message from Verizon.

Check To Make Sure Forwarding Is Working Properly

Even if you received a success message from Verizon, you should still test that the call forwarding is working by calling your cell phone using another phone. If it does not work, you will have to turn off the conditional call forwarding and try activating the call forwarding again.

How To Turn Off Call Forwarding

To turn off conditional call forwarding from your Verizon cell phone, simply punch in *73 and press call. Listen for a successful message stating call forwarding has been deactivated.

Check To Make Sure Settings Are Back To Default

Even if you read/heard a successful response for deactivating call forwarding, you should call your cell phone using another phone to make sure your calls are no longer being forwarded.
