title:How to Turn Off Call Forwarding: Quick USSD Codes
content:Fix Unintended Call Forwarding Fast
Ever picked up your phone to find no missed calls, but friends insist they called? Chances are your calls are being forwarded to another number without your knowledge. This common issue can lead to missed work updates or personal calls, but fixing it is easier than you think.
In this guide, we’ll use the exact USSD codes from the video to help you check and disable call forwarding in seconds. These codes work on most GSM networks (like Airtel, Jio, and Vodafone) across India and many other countries.
Check Where Your Calls Are Forwarded
First, confirm if your calls are being forwarded and to which number. Here’s how:
- Open your phone’s dialer app.
- Enter the code *#21# (star, hash, 21, hash).
- Press the call button.
You’ll see a message showing if calls are forwarded and the target number. This step is crucial to verify the issue before fixing it.
Disable Call Forwarding in Seconds
Once you confirm the forwarding, use this code to turn it off:
- In your dialer, enter ##21# (double hash, 21, hash).
- Press the call button.
A confirmation message will appear saying “Call Forwarding Unconditional Erased Successfully” or similar. This code instantly stops all unconditional call forwarding.
Verify Call Forwarding Is Off
To make sure the fix worked:
- Dial *#21# again.
- Check the result—if it says “Not Forward” or “No Forwarding Active,” you’re done.
This step ensures you won’t miss any future calls.
