title:How to Turn Off Call Forwarding With a Simple USSD Code

content:Is Your Phone Forwarding Calls Without You Knowing?

Ever picked up your phone to find no missed calls, but a friend says they tried reaching you? Chances are your calls are being forwarded to another number. The video I analyzed shares a quick, no-app fix using basic USSD codes—ideal for anyone who wants to resolve this issue in seconds.

Check Which Number Your Calls Are Forwarded To

First, confirm if your calls are indeed being redirected. Dial *#21# from your phone and press the call button. You’ll see a message showing the number your calls are sent to (if forwarding is active). This step helps you verify the problem before fixing it.

Disable Call Forwarding in One Step

Once you’ve confirmed the forwarding number, turn it off with a single code. Dial ##21# and press call. You’ll get a success message saying “Call Forwarding Unconditional Erased Successfully.” From now on, all calls will ring directly on your phone.

These USSD codes work for most GSM networks (like Airtel, Vodafone, and Jio). If they don’t work for you, contact your carrier’s customer support—some networks have unique codes. Also, remember: if you ever need to re-enable forwarding, use *21*[target number]# (e.g., *21*9876543210#).

Actionable Checklist

  1. Dial *#21# to check forwarding status.
  2. Use ##21# to disable forwarding.
  3. Test by asking a friend to call your number.
  4. Contact your carrier if codes don’t work.
