title：How to Disable Call Forwarding on Mobile: Easy USSD Codes

content: Is Your Call Forwarded? Check First

Ever noticed calls aren’t ringing on your phone, even when it’s turned on? It might be forwarded to another number—maybe by accident, or a prank from a friend. The first step is to confirm if forwarding is active, and the video shares an easy way to do this with a USSD code.

How to Verify Call Forwarding Status

Open your phone’s dialer, type *#21# and press call. You’ll get a message showing if call forwarding is active, plus the target number your calls are being sent to. This code works across most GSM networks, so it’s reliable for most users.

Once you’ve confirmed your number is forwarded, the video shows a quick fix to turn it off immediately.

The USSD Code to Stop Forwarding

Dial ##21# and press call. The video confirms this code will erase unconditional call forwarding (all calls sent to another number). You’ll see a success message like “Call Forwarding Unconditional Erased Successfully” once it works.

Key Notes for Success

• Ensure you’re using the SIM card with the active forwarding.
• If the code doesn’t work, restart your phone and try again—network glitches can sometimes interfere.
• For conditional forwarding (e.g., when busy or no answer), you may need different codes, but this method covers the most common issue.

Beyond the video’s steps, here are exclusive tips to keep your call settings safe:

Secure Your SIM Settings

Set a PIN for your SIM card. Most carriers let you do this in your phone’s settings. A PIN prevents others from changing your call forwarding (or other SIM-related settings) without your permission.

Regularly Check Forwarding Status

Make it a habit to dial *#21# every few weeks. This quick check ensures no unexpected forwarding is active.

Contact Your Carrier if Needed

If USSD codes don’t work, reach out to your mobile provider. They can disable forwarding from their end and help resolve any network-specific issues.
