Here are the steps:
- Dial *72 if you want all calls to automatically forward. Dial *71 if you only want unanswered calls to forward.

Things to remember with call forwarding:
- You must turn on call forwarding from your Comcast Business Mobile device. You cannot turn it on from another phone or a computer.
- Calls cannot be forwarded to international numbers, only domestic 10-digit numbers, including toll-free numbers.
- If call forwarding is enabled, unanswered calls will not be directed to your mobile device's voicemail.
- Call forwarding does not affect text messages. They will still come through as normal on your mobile device.
