DIY Windstream Call Forwarding & Call Transfer

Although you can contact Windstream customer service for this purpose, still, you can apply the following methods to achieve the same goal. Here’s how to do it:

All Call Forwarding

  • For ‘All Call Forwarding’ simply dial *72 from your landline phone
    • Once done, enter the number you’d like to forward the calls to.
    • You’ll need to check if the process is completed and calls are answered. Repeat the first two steps if Call Forwarding isn’t in effect.
  • In case you want to deactivate it, dial *73 from your phone. You’ll hear two short tones followed by a dial tone that will indicate that call forwarding is now turned off.

Preferred Call Forwarding

  • For ‘Preferred Call Forwarding, dial *63 from your landline phone
    • Listen to the announcement. It’ll tell whether the feature is on/off and how many numbers are currently on the list.
    • Follow the instructions as you proceed. Press the number (usually 3) for turning Call Forwarding on/off.

In this way, you’ll be able to turn on call forwarding on your landline phone number. For transfers, contact the Kinetic Windstream support representative that will assist in the matter.
