Forwarding codes¶
UK mobile conditional-forward codes — what the trade dials to turn Polly on/off.
The 4 codes¶
Replace [YE] below with the pilot's dedicated Twilio UK number (one per pilot in Option A).
| Code | What it does |
|---|---|
**61*[YE]# |
Forward when no answer (typical: 20s ring) |
**62*[YE]# |
Forward when phone unreachable (off / no signal) |
**67*[YE]# |
Forward when busy on another call |
##002# |
Cancel all diversions |
*#61# |
Check current "no answer" target |
**61*[YE]**10# |
Set "no answer" ring time to 10s (default is usually 20s) |
Example — brother on Vodafone, dedicated number +447488896189¶
Then to verify: *#61#
To cancel later: ##002#
Per-network notes¶
| Network | Notes |
|---|---|
| Vodafone | All 3 codes work as standard. Ring time configurable. |
| EE | All 3 work. Some plans default to 30s ring — recommend **61*[YE]**15# for faster pickup. |
| O2 | All 3 work. |
| Three | All 3 work. |
| Sky Mobile | Uses O2 network — same codes. |
| Tesco Mobile | Uses O2 — same codes. |
| GiffGaff | Uses O2 — same codes. |
| iD Mobile | Uses Three — same codes. |
| Lebara | Uses Vodafone — same codes. |

What to send the trade¶
See the WhatsApp template in Onboard a new pilot — pre-filled with the 3 codes for their dedicated number.
How the trade should verify¶
- Dial their forwarding code from their mobile → hear network confirmation tone.
- Dial
*#61#→ confirm the target is the YE number. - From a different phone, ring their mobile and don't pick up.
- After 20s the call diverts → Polly answers in her UK voice.
- The trade gets the SMS + email within 30 seconds of the test call ending.
If steps 4-5 work, they're live.
