Boost Mobile (now operating on Dish's 5G network) uses standard GSM MMI codes for conditional call forwarding.
The same codes work on Dish Mobile (MVNOs running on Boost Mobile's network).
Working codes for Boost Mobile
- Forward all calls (CFU):
**21*NUMBER# - Forward when no answer (CFNA):
**61*NUMBER# - Forward when busy (CFB):
**67*NUMBER# - Forward when unreachable (CFNR):
**62*NUMBER# - Cancel all forwarding:
##21#
Replace NUMBER with the destination phone number (e.g. your VettedCalls extension). Dial the code from your regular phone keypad and press send. Listen for a confirmation tone.
Troubleshooting Boost Mobile forwarding
- Plan migration from old Boost (Sprint) to new Boost (Dish)? Phones still provisioned on the legacy Sprint-Boost network use Verizon-style star codes (*72/*73). New Boost (Dish 5G) uses GSM. If your **21* code returns "Service not provisioned," try Verizon's *72NUMBER format instead.
- Cancel forwarding:
##002#clears all forwarding.
How to use these with VettedCalls
VettedCalls is an AI call-screening service. When you sign up, we provision a dedicated screening number for your business. You then dial one of these forwarding codes from your cell, replacing NUMBER with your VettedCalls number. After that, every unknown caller routes through VettedCalls' AI — real customers reach you with name, intent, and urgency; spam stops at the gate.
