Call Forwarding for home phone

1. Dial *72 or 72# and listen for dial tone.
2. Enter the number where you wish to forward calls.
   • Long distance numbers: Enter 1 plus the10-digit phone number. For example, 1+ 3-digit area code + 7-digit phone number.
   • Numbers that are not long distance but require an area code: Enter the 7-digit phone number. For example, 3-digit area code + 7-digit phone number.
   • Local calls not requiring an area code: Enter only the 7-digit phone number.
3. Wait for the confirmation tone. After the confirmation tone, the system will automatically place a call to the number to which calls will be forwarded. If the forward-to party answers the call, the feature is activated.

Note: If the forward-to line is busy or there is no answer, the feature will not be activated. Try activating Call Forward again by repeating the steps above. You will hear an error message if the forward-to number is invalid.

Note: This article applies to AT&T local home phone service. Don't have traditional phone service? Select Phone service or wireless service.

Helpful hints

• You can make outgoing calls while calls are being forwarded.
• When Call Forwarding is activated, you may hear a brief ring when someone calls you, but you will not be able to answer calls on that line until Call Forwarding is canceled.
• If you have voicemail, incoming calls that would normally go to voicemail will go to the forward-to number. If the forward-to number has voicemail and no one answers the forwarded call, your call will go to the voicemail of the forward-to number.
• If you forward a call, additional local and long-distance charges may apply.
