Follow these steps to set up call forwarding on your Mobile line.

Verizon:

  • Go to m.vzw.com/callforwarding and sign in to your My Verizon account. Or if you’re already signed in, look for the device you want to forward on the account overview page and click Manage device. Then scroll down to Call forwarding and click Manage.
  • Select the number that you want to be forwarded, and enter your Smith number to forward calls to. Then click Update Call Forwarding Status.
  • Follow the prompts to verify your information with a push notification or email. You'll have 120 seconds to respond to the message sent. Once complete, you're done! All calls are now being forwarded. And you'll see the "Active" status displayed.

Forwarding can also be set up on your phone in the My Verizon app :

  • To forward calls only when your line is busy or there is no answer, press *71 and the 10-digit Smith number to forward calls to. Press Send and wait for the confirmation tone.
