Call Forwarding Guide
How to Forward Calls from Boost Mobile
Boost Mobile call forwarding lets you send incoming calls to another number—like your SkipCalls number—so an AI answering service can answer 24/7. It’s a quick setup (usually under 5 minutes) and you can turn it off anytime when you want calls to ring your phone again.
Forwarding Codes
Open your phone's dialer, enter the activation code, and press Call. Replace your SkipCalls number with the number from your SkipCalls app.
| Forward Type | Activate | Deactivate |
|---|---|---|
All Calls Every incoming call goes to SkipCalls | *72•••• | *73 |
Replace •••• with your SkipCalls phone number (found in the app under Settings).
Troubleshooting
- •Wait for confirmation: After dialing the forwarding code, listen for a confirmation tone/message before hanging up; if you hang up too fast, the change may not save.
- •Double-check the forwarded-to number: Make sure you entered your full 10-digit SkipCalls number (including area code). A single wrong digit will route calls incorrectly.
- •Verify signal and network mode: Call forwarding updates can fail in low-signal areas; retry on stronger LTE/5G coverage or after toggling Airplane Mode on/off.
- •Restart and retest: Reboot your phone, then place a test call from another line to confirm forwarding is active (don’t test from the same phone).
- •Check for device/app settings conflicts: If your phone shows call forwarding options in Settings, the carrier codes usually win—use one method consistently and remove conflicting settings if results seem inconsistent.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Boost Mobile support call forwarding?
Yes—Boost Mobile generally supports call forwarding using carrier dial codes, and it works with most modern phones. If a code doesn’t work, try again with strong signal or contact Boost support to confirm it’s enabled on your line.
Will call forwarding to SkipCalls work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Boost Mobile call forwarding is controlled by the network, so forwarding to SkipCalls works on both iPhone and Android as long as your line supports call forwarding.
Will I be charged for forwarding calls on Boost Mobile?
Call forwarding can affect how calls are billed depending on your plan and the type of forwarding you use. Check your Boost Mobile plan details or support to confirm any call forwarding charges before enabling it.
Can I forward only when I don’t answer (conditional call forwarding)?
Often, yes—conditional call forwarding can route calls to SkipCalls only when you’re busy, don’t answer, or your phone is unreachable. Availability and exact behavior can vary by Boost network setup, so test each condition after enabling it.
How do I turn off call forwarding and go back to normal ringing?
You can disable call forwarding at any time using the cancel/deactivate dial code or by turning it off in your phone’s call settings. After disabling, place a test call to confirm calls ring your Boost Mobile phone again.
