How do I divert calls on Vodafone?
On Vodafone pay monthly, type **61* then your Hold The Fort number (starting +44) then # for calls you don't answer. Use **67* for busy and **62* for phone off. On pay as you go, Vodafone only lets you divert to voicemail, so move to a monthly plan or use your Hold The Fort number as your business number.
All codes on this page come from Vodafone's own help pages, checked on 18 October 2026.
What should I check before I start?
- Pay as you go: Vodafone says "If you're on Pay as you go, you can only divert incoming calls to voicemail." So you can't divert to Hold The Fort on pay as you go. Two ways round it: move to a Vodafone monthly plan and keep your number, or give customers your Hold The Fort number as your business number.
- Pay monthly: you can divert to another UK landline or mobile.
- Put the number in the +44 way. Vodafone asks you to replace the first 0 with +44. So if your Hold The Fort number starts 01, you type +441 and then the rest of the number.
- Vodafone's page doesn't say what a diverted call costs. Check your plan.
