Call Forwarding Guide

How to Forward Calls from Cricket Wireless

If you’re wondering how to forward calls from Cricket Wireless, you can send incoming calls to SkipCalls in minutes so our AI answering service can answer 24/7. Once enabled, callers reach SkipCalls while you stay focused, and you can switch forwarding off anytime. This guide covers what to try on Cricket Wireless when call forwarding doesn’t behave as expected in 2026.

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	`21••••#`	`#21#`
When Busy Forwards when you're on another call	`67••••#`	`##67#`
No Answer Forwards if you don't pick up within a few rings	`61••••#`	`##61#`
When Unreachable Forwards when your phone is off or has no signal	`62••••#`	`##62#`

Replace •••• with your SkipCalls phone number (found in the app under Settings).

Cricket runs on AT&T's network. Use the AT&T/GSM forwarding codes first. If codes fail with a connection or MMI error, disable Wi-Fi Calling, make sure you have Cricket cellular signal, and try the legacy Cricket formats.

Troubleshooting

•Confirm you have Cricket Wireless cellular signal (not just Wi‑Fi). Call forwarding updates rely on the mobile network, so weak service can prevent changes from saving.
•Check whether Call Forwarding settings are being overridden by another feature like Do Not Disturb, call blocking, or a third‑party dialer app. Temporarily disable those and try enabling forwarding again.
•If forwarding seems to ‘not work’ only sometimes, verify whether you accidentally turned on Conditional Call Forwarding (busy/no answer/unreachable) instead of forwarding all calls. Your phone’s call settings may separate these options.
•Restart your phone after making changes. On some Cricket/AT&T network configurations, a reboot forces the device to refresh carrier call settings.
•Make sure you’re forwarding to a valid 10‑digit US number (your SkipCalls forwarding number) and that you entered it correctly. A single digit off will cause silent failures or misrouted calls.
