title:How to Turn Off Call Forwarding Easily Using USSD Codes

content:Fix Unwanted Call Forwarding in Seconds

Have you ever noticed calls to your number are going to someone else, or your line shows switched off even when it’s active? Chances are your call forwarding is turned on without your knowledge. The good news is you don’t need to navigate complex settings to fix this. This article breaks down the simple USSD codes to check and disable call forwarding, straight from the video tutorial and verified by common carrier practices.

How to Check Where Your Calls Are Forwarded

First, confirm if call forwarding is active and where your calls are sent. Here’s the step-by-step:

  1. Open your phone’s call dialer app.
  2. Dial the USSD code *#21# (star, hash, 21, hash).
  3. Press the call button.
    A pop-up or message will show details like the forwarding number and type (unconditional or conditional). This step verifies the issue before making changes.

How to Disable Unconditional Call Forwarding

Once you’ve confirmed the forwarding, use this code to turn it off:

  1. In the call dialer, enter ##21# (hash, hash, 21, hash).
  2. Press the call button.
    You’ll get a confirmation message like "Call Forwarding Unconditional Erased Successfully." Your calls will now ring directly on your number again.

Notes for Different Carriers

These codes work for most major carriers (Airtel, Jio, Vodafone, AT&T, Verizon) but some regional carriers may use variations. If the above codes don’t work:

  • Try ##002# to disable all forwarding types (unconditional, busy, no answer).
  • Contact your carrier’s support for network-specific codes.
