Call Forwarding While Traveling And Roaming

Call forwarding is stored at your carrier, so it keeps working when you travel. Calls that would ring a phone abroad can go to Voice Mate instead.

When you roam, answering a call can cost you money, and bad reception makes it worse. Forwarding unanswered and unreachable calls to Voice Mate means callers always get an answer and you read the summary when it suits you. Check your plan: some carriers charge for forwarded calls abroad.

Set forwarding up before you leave, and test it from a second phone.

Getting Started

Setup is easy: follow the steps below. You need the Voice Mate app on your phone.

1. 1. Set 'unreachable' and 'no answer' forwarding

   Use the app or the codes **62* and **61*.

   Dial ##002# or use the switch in the app.
