title：How to Disable Call Forwarding Using USSD Codes (Easy Steps)

content：Why Call Forwarding Gets Stuck (And How to Check)

Have you ever set up call forwarding and then struggled to turn it off? Maybe you forgot the steps, or someone else changed your settings without your knowledge. Either way, missing important calls because of stuck forwarding is frustrating.

The video shares a simple way to first check if your calls are being forwarded. The code #21# is a industry-standard USSD command used by most mobile carriers globally. Here’s how to use it: Open your phone’s dialer app, type #21#, and press the call button. You’ll see a message showing if your calls are forwarded to another number, and which number it is. This step is crucial to confirm the issue before fixing it.

Common Scenarios for Stuck Forwarding

Stuck forwarding often happens when you:

1. Forgot to disable forwarding after using it for a temporary reason.
2. Let someone else use your phone, and they set up forwarding without telling you.
3. Experienced a glitch in your carrier’s network that left forwarding active.

Once you’ve confirmed your calls are being forwarded, the video gives a quick fix: the ##21# code. This command turns off all unconditional call forwarding (forwarding every call to another number).

Here’s the exact process:

1. Open your dialer app again.
2. Type ##21# (two hashes, then 21, then one hash).
3. Press the call button.

You’ll get a confirmation message like “Call Forwarding Unconditional Erased Successfully.” This means your calls will now ring on your phone as usual.

Note: This code works for most carriers, including Airtel, Vodafone, Jio (India), AT&T, Verizon (US), and others. If it doesn’t work, contact your carrier’s customer support for carrier-specific codes.

• Avoid sharing your phone with people you don’t trust, as they might change your settings.
