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

**61*+447488896189#
**62*+447488896189#
**67*+447488896189#

Then to verify: *#61#

To cancel later: ##002#

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

  1. Dial their forwarding code from their mobile → hear network confirmation tone.
  2. Dial *#61# → confirm the target is the YE number.
  3. From a different phone, ring their mobile and don't pick up.
  4. After 20s the call diverts → Polly answers in her UK voice.
  5. The trade gets the SMS + email within 30 seconds of the test call ending.

If steps 4-5 work, they're live.
