# How to divert calls on EE

The short answer

You can divert calls on EE in two ways: from your phone's call forwarding settings, or by calling 150 and choosing option 1, then 2, then 4, then 1. EE says diverts must be set up on the phone itself, not by customer services. A diverted call to a UK landline or mobile comes out of your plan's minutes like a normal call.

## What it costs

- Diverting to voicemail is free for EE Small Business customers.
- A call diverted to a UK number is charged at your plan's call rate. If calls to that number are in your allowance (a landline or mobile), it comes out of your allowance like a normal call.
- Diverting to a number outside your allowance, such as an 08 number, is charged. Roaming charges apply if you divert while abroad.

## Worth knowing

- On an iPhone, the Call Forwarding switch sends every call, so your phone will not ring. For "only when I don't answer" forwarding, use your network's codes if it publishes them, or ask your network to set it up.

EE divert questions

## Asked and answered.

Can I divert my EE number to an AI receptionist?+

Yes. Divert to the number we set up for your receptionist, ideally only when you don't answer, when you're busy and when your phone is off, so you still take the calls you can.

Does diverting calls cost anything on EE?+

Diverting to voicemail is free for EE Small Business customers. A call diverted to a UK number is charged at your plan's call rate. If calls to that number are in your allowance (a landline or mobile), it comes out of your allowance like a normal call. Diverting to a number outside your allowance, such as an 08 number, is charged. Roaming charges apply if you divert while abroad.

How do I check the divert is working?+

Ring your number from another phone and let it ring out. You should hear your AI receptionist answer, and get the email with the caller's details a moment after you hang up.
