This question has been asked previously, if you ask the question in the forum search facility there will be other threads.

That won't work @clayface22 , you can only forward calls within the same country. Otherwise you would be charged for making an international call for the divert.

A workaround would be to record a personal greeting on your US voicemail asking callers to call your UK number.

Hi there @clayface22 

Just to confirm:

  • You have a Vodafone UK line and you’re roaming in the USA
  • You want to divert your incoming calls to another number to stop the calls routing to yourself

If so, the same rules apply as if you were here. You can divert to another UK number. 

If for example you wanted to divert all calls to voicemail, you could use the code **21*121# then hit call / dial. That tells the network to divert all your incoming calls to voicemail. Your phone won’t ring. 

Assuming you’re pay monthly (as prepaid can only divert to voicemail), you could use the same code to divert to a different number, e.g. to divert all your incoming call to 020 xxyy xxyy, you’d dial **21*020xxyyxxyy# then dial. 

To remove the divert again, it’s ##21# then dial.
