Google Fi call forwarding is a convenient feature that allows you to forward calls from your Google Fi number to another phone number. This feature is available on Google Fi's website and mobile app.

You can forward calls to any phone number, including landlines and other mobile phones, and you can also set up conditional call forwarding to forward calls based on specific rules, such as forwarding calls from a specific number or during specific times of the day.

Google Fi's call forwarding feature is free, and you can set it up and manage it directly from your Google Fi account online.

Call Forwarding Options

Google Fi's call forwarding feature allows you to forward calls from your Google Fi number to another phone number.

You can set up call forwarding to forward calls from your Google Fi number to your personal phone number, work phone number, or even a friend's phone number.

To set up call forwarding, you'll need to log in to your Google Fi account on the Google Fi website or mobile app.

Call forwarding can be set up for all calls, calls from specific contacts, or calls from unknown numbers.

Google Fi Call Forwarding allows you to forward all your incoming calls to another phone number. You can set up unconditional call forwarding, which sends every call to your Google Fi number to the forwarded number.

To enable unconditional call forwarding, dial *21* followed by the 10-digit phone number you want your calls forwarded to, then press #. For example, to forward calls to 555-123-4567, dial *21*5551234567#. You'll then press the call button to send the code and wait for confirmation.

You can also set up conditional call forwarding, which sends calls to the forwarded number only if you don't answer, your phone is busy, or your device is unreachable. To enable conditional call forwarding, open the Phone app on your Google Fi device and follow the prompts.

Here's a quick reference guide to get you started:

You'll receive a confirmation message or notification when call forwarding is enabled, letting you know that all incoming calls will be forwarded to the selected number.

Conditional call forwarding is a feature on Google Fi that allows you to forward calls only if you don't answer, your phone is busy, or your device is unreachable.

This feature is useful if you want to try answering your calls first, but still have a backup. It's like having an AI receptionist to catch any calls you might miss.

To set up conditional call forwarding on Google Fi, you'll need to open the Phone app on your device.

Choose the type of conditional forwarding you want, such as forwarding to a specific number or a group of numbers.

Press the call button after entering the code, and wait for confirmation that the setting is active.

Here are the step-by-step instructions to set up conditional call forwarding on Google Fi:

  1. Open the Phone app on your Google Fi device.
  2. Choose the type of conditional forwarding you want.
  3. Press the call button after entering the code.
  4. Wait for confirmation that the setting is active.

Turning Off Call Forwarding

If you no longer want your calls to be forwarded, it's easy to turn off call forwarding on your Google Fi number.

To turn off all call forwarding, including all types of conditional and unconditional forwarding, open the Phone app and dial ##21# then press the call button. This will instantly disable call forwarding.

To turn off specific conditional forwarding, you'll need to follow a different process, but we'll cover that in a moment.

Here's a quick rundown of the steps to disable call forwarding:

  • Dial ##21# in the Phone app
  • Press the call button
  • Wait for confirmation that call forwarding has been disabled

That's it! Your calls will no longer be forwarded to another number.
