Call Forwarding Guide
How to Forward Calls from Sprint
If you’re wondering how to forward calls from Sprint, you can route your incoming calls to SkipCalls in just a few minutes. Once Sprint call forwarding is enabled, SkipCalls (an AI answering service) can answer your calls 24/7 so you don’t miss customers while you’re busy or away.
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•••• | *720 |
No Answer Forwards if you don't pick up within a few rings | *73•••• | *720 |
Replace •••• with your SkipCalls phone number (found in the app under Settings).
Troubleshooting
- •Confirm you’re using the correct forwarding type: unconditional forwarding sends every call, while “busy/no answer” only forwards in specific situations.
- •If the dial code doesn’t work, try from the Sprint line that receives the calls (not a secondary line), and make sure you have cellular signal—call forwarding updates can fail with weak service.
- •Check whether your line is on a legacy Sprint plan now managed under T-Mobile billing—some accounts require changing call forwarding from device settings instead of dial codes.
- •If calls forward but callers can’t reach SkipCalls, verify you entered the full 10-digit destination number (including area code) and didn’t accidentally add a leading 1 when it isn’t required.
- •If forwarding turns itself off after a reboot or software update, re-enable it and check for any call forwarding or “conditional forwarding” toggles in your phone’s Phone app settings. (Some Android models override carrier codes.)
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Sprint call forwarding work with SkipCalls?
Yes. You can forward calls from Sprint to a SkipCalls number, and SkipCalls will answer your calls 24/7 as an AI answering service.
Will Sprint charge me for call forwarding?
It depends on your plan and the type of forwarding (always vs. conditional). Check your Sprint/T-Mobile account details or ask support to confirm whether forwarded calls count as airtime or incur additional charges.
Can I forward Sprint calls when my phone is off or has no signal?
Usually, yes—if you enable unconditional call forwarding, the network routes calls to SkipCalls even if your phone is powered off. Conditional forwarding (busy/no answer) may behave differently depending on coverage and device settings.
How do I stop call forwarding on Sprint and return calls to my phone?
You can turn off call forwarding using the same method you used to enable it (dial code or phone settings). After disabling, incoming calls should ring your Sprint phone normally again.
Can I use Sprint call forwarding for busy/no answer so I only send missed calls to SkipCalls?
Yes. Conditional forwarding lets you forward calls only when you’re on another call, don’t answer, or can’t be reached—useful if you want to screen live calls but have SkipCalls capture missed ones.
