The short answer
To forward every call from T-Mobile, dial **21*your VeraDial number# from your T-Mobile phone. To turn it off, dial ##21#. Only want unanswered calls forwarded? Use the missed-calls tab below.
Enter the number you're forwarding to and every code below becomes a tap-to-dial link. It stays in your browser — nothing is sent anywhere.
Every call to your T-Mobile number goes straight to the number you forward to — your phone never rings.

FAQ
Does call forwarding on T-Mobile forward my text messages too?
No. Call forwarding routes voice calls only. Text messages stay with your original carrier. If you want texts answered too, that needs a separate setup on the receiving side.
Does call forwarding cost extra on T-Mobile?
Forwarded calls may use minutes or create carrier charges depending on your plan.
Why do calls still go to my T-Mobile voicemail instead of forwarding?
With missed-call (conditional) forwarding, carrier voicemail and forwarding race each other — whichever answers first wins. If your carrier voicemail picks up before forwarding kicks in, calls never reach VeraDial. If a test lands in carrier voicemail, disable it or shorten its ring delay.
How do I turn off call forwarding on T-Mobile?
Dial the cancel code for the forwarding type you enabled — ##21#, ##61#, ##67#, ##62# — from the phone that has forwarding active. Activate forwarding from the phone or SIM that receives the original calls.
Do these steps work on prepaid, business, or MVNO T-Mobile plans?
Carrier forwarding codes can vary by prepaid, business, landline, VoIP, and MVNO plans. These codes were checked against t-mobile.com on May 3, 2026.
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.
