Aroha AI

Forward calls on Android, Samsung and Pixel.

Open the Phone app, tap the three dots, then Settings. On Samsung go to Supplementary services, then Call forwarding; on Pixel go to Calling accounts, your SIM, then Call forwarding. Set “When busy”, “When unanswered” and “When unreachable” to the number you’re forwarding to. Or dial your network’s codes, like **61*NUMBER#, from the keypad.

The standard codes

When you do not answer
Turn on: **61*NUMBER#. Turn off: ##61#. Check: *#61#.
When you are busy or press decline
Turn on: **67*NUMBER#. Turn off: ##67#. Check: *#67#.
When your phone is off or has no signal
Turn on: **62*NUMBER#. Turn off: ##62#. Check: *#62#.
Every call, straight away
Turn on: **21*NUMBER#. Turn off: ##21#. Check: *#21#.

Samsung Galaxy.

  • Open the Phone app and tap the three dots (More options).
  • Tap Settings, then Supplementary services, then Call forwarding.
  • With two SIMs, pick your business SIM, then Voice calls.
  • Set Forward when busy, Forward when unanswered and Forward when unreachable, then tap Enable on each.

Google Pixel and most other Android phones.

  • Open the Phone app, tap the three dots, then Settings.
  • Tap Calling accounts, then your SIM, then Call forwarding.
  • Set When busy, When unanswered and When unreachable to the number.
  • Turn off Take a Message (Call Assist) if missed calls still do not forward; it can answer first.

If the menu is missing or greyed out.

Some networks and prepay plans hide the menu. Dial the codes from the keypad instead, or ask your network to turn forwarding on. On Google Fi, forwarding is set in the Fi app, not the phone settings.

Test it in two minutes.

Ask someone to ring your number three times. Each call should reach the number you forwarded to:

  • Let the first call ring out. That tests “no answer”.
  • Press decline on the second. That tests “busy”.
  • Turn on flight mode for the third. That tests “phone off”.

Forward them to a receptionist, not a voicemail box.

Most people forward missed calls to voicemail, and most callers hang up on it. Aroha gives you a number to forward to. Its receptionist answers in your business’s name, books the job or takes the details, and texts you a summary. Your phone still rings first, and the cancel code switches it off any time.

Get a free number: Aroha answers up to 60 minutes of calls in your first 14 days, then about 10 calls a month for free. No card. The setup screen shows these codes with your number already filled in.
