U.S. Cellular call forwarding not working?

•Confirm you’re using your U.S. Cellular line (not an app-based number) and that your phone has cellular service—call forwarding changes may fail when you’re on Wi‑Fi Calling only or in low-signal areas.
•If forwarding doesn’t activate, toggle Airplane Mode on/off and retry, or restart your phone—U.S. Cellular network features can take a moment to re-register on the network.
•If you recently enabled call blocking, spam filtering, or “Silence Unknown Callers,” test with a known number—some device-level settings can make it seem like forwarding isn’t working when calls are being filtered before reaching the network.
•Double-check that the destination number you’re forwarding to (your SkipCalls number) is entered exactly as provided, including the 1 + area code format if your phone requires it.
•If forwarding behaves differently than expected (for example, only forwards when busy), verify which forwarding type is enabled in your phone settings or by dialing the correct forwarding code; U.S. Cellular supports multiple forwarding modes (unconditional, busy, no answer, unreachable).

U.S. Cellular call forwarding FAQ

Can I forward U.S. Cellular calls to SkipCalls if I have an iPhone or Android?

Yes. U.S. Cellular call forwarding works with both iPhone and Android. You can enable it through your phone’s call settings or by dialing carrier forwarding codes, then use your SkipCalls number as the destination.

Will U.S. Cellular charge me for call forwarding?

Call forwarding charges depend on your U.S. Cellular plan and how the forwarded leg is rated. If you’re unsure, check your plan details or contact support before forwarding a high volume of calls.

Can I forward only missed calls (no answer) to SkipCalls instead of every call?

Usually, yes. U.S. Cellular supports different forwarding types such as forwarding when you don’t answer, when your line is busy, or when you’re unreachable—so you can route missed calls to SkipCalls while still taking calls normally when you’re available.

How do I turn off call forwarding on U.S. Cellular?

For the codes in this guide, dial *720 to stop forwarding all calls, *900 to stop busy forwarding, or *920 to stop no-answer forwarding. Then call your U.S. Cellular number from another phone to confirm it rings normally.

Will call forwarding still work if my phone is off or has no service?

In most cases, yes—forwarding is handled by the U.S. Cellular network, not by your device. If you set up forwarding for “unreachable” scenarios, calls can still route to SkipCalls when your phone is off, out of coverage, or in airplane mode.
