iClarified published a step‑by‑step guide on October 12, 2026, showing how to turn on, verify and turn off call forwarding on iPhone models, including the iPhone 15 Pro Max and iPhone 18 Pro Max running iOS 27.

What happened

The guide walks users through four Settings taps: open Settings, select Apps, tap Phone, then enable Call Forwarding under Calls. After turning the switch on, users enter the destination number in the Forward To field and return to the previous screen; the number is saved automatically. The same screen displays a green switch and the forwarded number when forwarding is active.

What the reports add

iClarified notes that if Call Forwarding does not appear under Calls, the carrier may not support the feature in Settings, prompting users to contact the carrier. The article also lists carrier‑specific GSM dial codes for forwarding, such as *72  for Verizon, AT&T, T‑Mobile and most carriers, and *73 to stop forwarding. Conditional forwarding codes (e.g., *71  for unanswered calls) are included as well.

What was said

The guide quotes Apple, stating that call forwarding works when the device is on a GSM network. It also advises users to turn off Live Voicemail in Phone settings if conditional forwarding set via the carrier does not behave as expected.

How it came about

The instructions were tested on the latest iPhone hardware and iOS version, reflecting recent updates to the operating system and confirming that the Settings method still functions alongside traditional carrier codes.
