Important Details & Special Cases for UK Networks
- Standard Codes Only: Vodafone UK exclusively uses standard GSM codes for all forwarding types. No proprietary carrier codes are required.
- “Call Divert” Terminology: UK carriers typically refer to call forwarding as “Call Divert”.
- Contract Costs: Activation is generally free on most Vodafone contracts. However, forwarded calls may count as outbound calls. Check your specific tariff details.
- Pay-As-You-Go Costs: Pre-paid customers can set up diverts, but forwarded calls are billed at standard voice rates. Ensure you maintain sufficient credit balance.
- International Forwarding: You can forward calls to numbers outside the UK. The forwarded leg of the call will be billed at Vodafone’s international rates.
- Voicemail Conflict: Vodafone sets voicemail as the default divert target for unanswered and unreachable calls. To replace it with your own custom number, first clear existing conditional diverts using
##004#, then set up your individual rules. - Dual-SIM Phones: If your phone utilizes dual SIM cards, ensure you dial the GSM code via the Vodafone SIM. The diversion applies exclusively to the SIM from which the code is executed.
