# How to forward calls on AT&T to Vocenya

Help Center · Phone and forwarding · Updated 2026-10-04

**In short:** From your AT&T phone, dial **21*1, then your 10-digit Vocenya number, then #, and press call. Wait for the confirmation, then hang up. Dial ##21# to stop forwarding.

Forwarding sends the calls to your AT&T business number on to your Vocenya number. Your AI receptionist answers them. Callers keep dialing the number they already know.

On AT&T you turn forwarding on by dialing a short code from the phone that has your business number.

## Before you start

- Find your Vocenya number. It is on your **Overview** page in Vocenya.
- Add a card in **Billing** if you haven't yet. The forwarding steps in Vocenya appear once a card is on file. [Why](/help/getting-started/go-live-add-a-card).
- Have another phone nearby for the test at the end.

Replace [your 10-digit Vocenya number] with the number shown in Vocenya, digits only.

## Turn on forwarding

1. **Turn on forwarding.** From your business phone, dial this code and press call. Wait for the confirmation tone or message, then hang up. Code: `**21*1[your 10-digit Vocenya number]#`
2. **Test it.** Tap "Test my forwarding", or call your business number from another phone. Your Vocenya receptionist should answer.

## Turn off forwarding

Dial ##21# to stop forwarding.

## If it doesn't work

If the code is refused, call AT&T business support and ask them to turn on forwarding of all calls for your line. Then [check that forwarding works](/help/phone-forwarding/check-forwarding-works).

## Want your phone to ring first?

These steps send every call to Vocenya. If you would rather answer yourself and have Vocenya pick up only the calls you miss, read [ring first vs answer every call](/help/phone-forwarding/ring-first-or-answer-every-call).

Using a different phone company? See [the forwarding guide for every carrier](/help/phone-forwarding/forward-your-business-calls).
