Activating Call Forwarding With Cricket

Only certain plans on Cricket have access to conditional call forwarding, subscribers must forward to a local number rather than the general deposit number.

You can locate your deposit number that you forward to on our website: https://www.youmail.com/youmail/user/phones

To set up YouMail on the New Cricket GSM plans: To forward unanswered calls only (conditional call forwarding): Press **004* followed by your YouMail deposit number and # symbol. Once you have dialed it into your phone press "SEND" and wait for a confirmation tone or message.

For example, if your YouMail deposit number is 555-555-5555, the activation number you would be required to dial and call is:

**004*555-555-5555#

 Try test calls afterwards to see if YouMail picks up.

Another option is to call Cricket, confirm that you have "conditional call forwarding," ask them to set it to your deposit number, and have them do a test call to see if YouMail picks up.

If they are not able to set-up a forwarding number, or you are not get greeted by YouMail, Cricket has blocked conditional call forwarding on your calling plan.

In such a case, please inform Cricket that you would like to use YouMail instead of their voicemail system. User demand has led to carriers opening up their services to YouMail in the past.
