You don't mention if you are PAYG or pay monthly @Gboss69 .  If you are PAYG the only number you can forward calls to is voicemail.

Follow the information from the website here : Call Diverts  you can also set call forwarding up from the phone by following this information from Apple Set up call forwarding and call waiting on iPhone

There are two ways to divert calls to another number on your iPhone depending on your preference:-

1. Forward all unanswered calls:-

This method diverts all calls to your voicemail or another number after it rings a certain number of times. Here's how to do it using a code:-

  • Open the Phone app.
  • Go to the keypad and dial 61 followed by the phone number you want to forward calls to. Then, add # (hash) and press Dial.
  • You'll receive a confirmation message if successful.

2. Forward calls only when busy or unanswered (Conditional Call Forwarding):-

This method is useful if you only want calls to divert when you're on another call or unable to answer after a few rings. Here's how to activate it using a code:-

  • Open the Phone app.
  • Go to the keypad and dial *71 followed by the phone number you want to forward calls to. Then, add # (hash) and press Dial.
  • You'll receive a confirmation message if successful.

Sorry @JaylaCarson but that information is not quite correct, you have provided incorrect dialing codes for diverting.  That is the main reason for not posting AI generated replies, they can be factually incorrect.

The only way to divert calls is by following the information provided by Vodafone on the website.
