How to forward calls from Bell Mobility
Settings setup — this guide does not provide verified dial codes for Bell Mobility.
Updated September 14, 2026
The short answer
Choose whether Vera should answer every call or only the calls you miss. Bell’s published instructions use phone settings. See the two paths below before changing your forwarding.

Forward every call
Unconditional forwarding bypasses ringing on your Bell phone.
- In your phone’s call settings, open the forwarding options.
- Choose all voice calls and enter the destination number.
- Complete activation. Bell says it sends a free confirmation text.
Forward unanswered calls
Bell calls this No Answer Transfer: your phone rings before forwarding. Choose unanswered calls if offered in your forwarding settings. If absent, ask Bell for your device and plan’s setup instructions. Bell’s HSPA exception describes voicemail routing; it does not establish eligibility for forwarding to VeraDial.
On iPhone
Apple’s current path is Settings → Apps → Phone → Call Forwarding. With Dual SIM, select your Bell line. Turn forwarding on, then enter the destination under Forward To. Stay within cellular coverage while setting it up. Apple directs conditional-forwarding setup questions to your carrier; the all-call switch is not a missed-call rule.
Apple’s iPhone forwarding instructionsCancel, change or check forwarding
Reopen forwarding settings, select the active type and deactivate it. Bell directs users restoring voicemail to Deactivate All. Repeat setup with a new destination to replace the old number. Search Settings for forwarding to check its status.
Check your plan first: Bell lists pay-per-use charges when forwarding is not included, plus applicable long-distance fees.
FAQ
What should I ask Bell before forwarding missed calls?
Ask whether your specific line supports No Answer Transfer to your chosen number, how to configure it on your device, what it costs, and how to restore voicemail. Confirm busy and unreachable routing separately; do not assume an unanswered-call rule covers both.
Does forwarding Bell calls move my number to VeraDial?
No. Forwarding keeps your existing number with Bell and routes voice calls to another number. Text messages remain with your original carrier.
Once the calls are forwarded
Forwarding decides where the call goes. It does not decide who answers it — that is a separate choice, and it is the one that stops calls going to voicemail.

Where to point your forwarding
Forward to a number that answers — not another voicemail
Point your forwarding at a VeraDial number and Vera answers 24/7 — greets the caller, handles routine questions, takes the message, and texts you the transcript.
VeraDial detects your carrier and verifies forwarding with a real test call — it calls your old number from your new one and confirms the call arrives, so you know forwarding works before a customer does.
