EE Call Forwarding Codes for iPhone
Dial **21*[phone number]# and press Call. Replace [phone number] with the full UK number to forward to (e.g. **21*07911123456#). EE will confirm when active.
Dial **61*[phone number]*11*30# and press Call. This forwards calls to voicemail or another number after 30 seconds of ringing on EE.
Dial **67*[phone number]*11*30# and press Call. Calls diverted when your iPhone is engaged go to the forwarding number on EE.
Dial **62*[phone number]*11*30# and press Call. Activates forwarding when your iPhone is switched off, in Airplane Mode, or out of EE coverage.
Dial *#21# and press Call to check unconditional forwarding status. Dial *#61# to check conditional (unanswered) forwarding status on your EE number.
Dial ##002# and press Call. This cancels all active call forwarding rules on your EE number in a single command. Works from any iPhone.
If GSM codes fail, ensure you have active EE signal. Alternatively, use the EE app or website to manage call forwarding settings — app-based forwarding does not require signal.
Common Causes of This Issue on EE
| Cause | Likelihood | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| No signal for USSD | High | Try in better signal area |
| Code format wrong | Medium | Use exact format: **21*[number]# |
| Account restriction | Low | Use carrier app instead |
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the EE call forwarding code?
To forward all calls on EE, dial **21*[number]# and press Call. To cancel all forwarding, dial ##002#. To check forwarding status, dial *#21#. These are standard GSM codes that work on any iPhone on EE.
How do I forward EE calls to voicemail?
Dial **61*123*11*30# to forward unanswered calls to EE voicemail. Dial **67*123*11*30# for busy calls. Dial **62*123*11*30# when your iPhone is off or out of signal. All three together restore full voicemail functionality.
Why are EE forwarding codes not working?
Forwarding codes require active EE signal to process. If codes fail, try in an area with stronger signal. If the issue persists, contact 150 (free from EE mobile) — some EE account types restrict USSD code usage and require forwarding to be configured via the EE app instead.
