Handy network short codes

Call forwarding and voicemail follow the same standard GSM codes on every UK network:

Divert all calls: Dial **21*[number]# and press call.

Divert when busy: Dial **67*[number]# and press call.

Divert when no answer: Dial **61*[number]# and press call.

Cancel all diversions: Dial ##002# and press call.

Check voicemail: Hold down the 1 key or dial your voicemail number.
