Forwarding setup — pick the mode that fits your business

Verizon Wireless supports up to 3 forwarding modes. Most businesses pick "When Busy or No Answer" so the phone rings first and CallWise picks up when you miss it.

Forward all calls to CallWise

Every call to your number will go directly to the AI receptionist.

Example with forwarding number (641) 555-0100 — you'll get a unique number after signup
  1. Open your phone dialer app
  2. Dial *72 followed by your CallWise number (no spaces or dashes)

Forward only when busy or no answer (Recommended)

Your phone rings first. After 4 rings or if busy, the AI picks up.

*716415550100
Example with forwarding number (641) 555-0100 — you'll get a unique number after signup
  1. Open your phone dialer app
  2. Dial *71 followed by your CallWise number
  3. Press the green Call button
  4. Wait for confirmation beeps
  5. Hang up — forwarding is now active for busy/no-answer only
To turn forwarding off later: dial *73

Forward when phone is off or out of signal

Callers get the AI only when your phone is unreachable.

Verizon does not support separate out-of-coverage forwarding. Use "busy_no_answer" instead, which covers this case.

Frequently asked questions

Does this work with Verizon Wireless?

Yes. Verizon Wireless uses standard feature codes for call forwarding, and CallWise AI works with every US carrier. The dial codes on this page are the exact sequences Verizon Wireless documents as their official call forwarding feature.

Will I lose my phone number?

No. Call forwarding does not change who owns the number — you keep it. Forwarding simply routes calls to CallWise AI when you can’t answer. You can turn it off any time and calls return to ringing your phone normally.

Can I turn forwarding off later?

Yes. One dial code turns it off: *73. Your phone returns to ringing normally within seconds.
