Spectrum call forwarding codes and setup
Spectrum Home Phone, the Charter cable voice service, forwards calls with the star codes shown above. Pick up the handset, dial one, wait for the tone, and calls route where you want. Turning it off is one more code.
Spectrum has a code for each mode: all calls, busy line, and no answer. Most guides miss the no-answer code, so it is spelled out below.
If you have Spectrum Mobile rather than home phone, that is a different setup, also covered here.

Open setupAll calls or only the ones you miss, from the handset
The all-calls code above is dialed straight from your Spectrum handset and takes effect immediately. That hands the line off completely.
For no-answer forwarding, where your phone rings first and only unanswered calls roll over, dial the no-answer code shown above. Busy-line forwarding is *90 to turn on and *91 to turn off.
Spectrum Mobile is not the same as Spectrum Home Phone
Spectrum Mobile runs on the Verizon network, so it uses Verizon-style star codes, not the home phone code above. If you are forwarding a cell line, use the Verizon codes. If you are forwarding the phone plugged into your wall, use the Spectrum Home Phone code above.
Spectrum is the retail brand for Charter Communications, so anything labeled Charter phone service uses these same codes.

After the call forwards
Forwarding the line is step one. Giving callers a real answer is step two. Route your Spectrum line to a NextPhone number and an AI receptionist answers and handles the conversation end to end.
It books appointments, answers your common questions, and records the caller name and reason, then texts you a summary. Flat 199 dollars a month, unlimited calls.
