Some carriers let you dial these codes to see if call forwarding is enabled and which number your phone is currently forwarding calls to — either when you’re busy (*#67#) or for all calls (*#21#). You can change it to forward calls to another number, such as your home, office, or a third-party answering service, in settings.<\/p>\n
On iPhone, to change the forwarding number, go to Settings > Phone > Call Forwarding. On Android, the steps vary, but generally you’ll open the Phone app, tap the three-dot menu, go to Settings > Calling accounts, select your active SIM, and then look for the call forwarding option.<\/p>\n
If you see “Failed\/Error” instead of “Enabled\/Disabled” displayed after entering these codes — and you don’t see call forwarding in your settings — it likely means your carrier doesn’t support the feature on your plan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Some carriers let you dial these codes to see if call forwarding is enabled and which number your…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":72704,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[64,63,203,105],"class_list":["post-72703","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-mobile","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72703","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=72703"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72703\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/72704"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=72703"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=72703"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=72703"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
