A maintained dataset of call-forwarding activation and deactivation codes for US phone carriers: no-answer forwarding, busy forwarding, forward-all, and the portal paths for carriers that have no self-serve dial codes.
Small businesses use these codes to send missed calls to an answering service, a receptionist, a co-worker's cell, or a call center. The information is scattered across carrier support sites, often outdated, and sometimes wrong for a specific line type (wireless vs copper landline vs digital voice vs VoIP). This repo keeps it in one machine-readable place.
data/forwarding-codes.json— structured entries per carrier: codes by forwarding type, portal paths, and caveats.
NUMBER10 in a code means the 10-digit destination number (digits only). NUMBER11 means the 11-digit form starting with 1.

VoIP services (Google Voice, RingCentral, Grasshopper/OpenPhone/Dialpad and other hosted systems) configure forwarding in their app instead of dial codes; see the JSON for exact paths and caveats. Google Voice specifically does not support forwarding to automated systems; the supported route is via the linked cell's carrier code.
Every entry is checked against the carrier's own published support documentation. Last full review: 2026-08-25. Corrections welcome by issue or PR, ideally with a link to the carrier doc.
