How to Forward Calls on Android

Forwarding calls on an Android device allows you to redirect incoming calls to another phone number, which can be useful when you’re unable to answer your phone. Here’s how to set up call forwarding on most Android devices:

Using the Phone App:

1. Open the “Phone” or “Dialer” app on your Android device.
2. Tap the three-dot menu icon (often located in the top-right or top-left corner of the app, depending on your device).
3. Select “Settings” or “Call settings.”
4. Look for an option called “Call forwarding” or “Forward calls” and tap on it.
5. You will see options for different types of call forwarding, such as “Forward when busy,” “Forward when unanswered,” and “Forward when unreachable.” Tap the type of forwarding you want to set up.
6. Enter the phone number to which you want to forward your calls. Make sure to include the country code if necessary.
7. Tap “Enable” or “Turn on” to activate call forwarding for the selected condition.
8. You may need to confirm the forwarding by tapping “OK” or “Enable” in a confirmation pop-up.
9. To disable call forwarding, go back to the call forwarding settings and select “Disable” or “Turn off” for the specific condition you want to stop forwarding.

Note: The exact options and names may vary slightly depending on your Android device and version of Android.

Using USSD Codes:

You can also set up call forwarding using USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Service Data) codes. Here’s a common USSD code for call forwarding:

1. Open the “Phone” or “Dialer” app on your Android device.
2. Dial the USSD code for call forwarding based on your needs:

• For unconditional call forwarding (forward all calls): *21*<phone number>#
• For call forwarding when busy: *67*<phone number>#
• For call forwarding when unanswered: *61*<phone number>#
• For call forwarding when unreachable: *62*<phone number>#

1. Replace <phone number> with the number to which you want to forward your calls.
2. Press the “Call” button.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to confirm and activate the call forwarding.
4. To deactivate call forwarding, dial ## followed by the USSD code you used to enable it. For example, to deactivate unconditional call forwarding, dial ##21#.

Please note that the availability of call forwarding options and the specific USSD codes may vary depending on your mobile carrier and location. If you encounter any issues or need assistance, you can contact your carrier’s customer support for guidance.
