        How to Forward Your Number: AT&T and T-Mobile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        The AT&T and T-Mobile USSD codes for activating call forwarding are the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Open your phone’s dialer app<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Enter *21*<\/strong> followed by the phone number to which you want the calls forwarded<\/li>\n\n\n\n

        4. Click the call button<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
        5. Before disconnecting the call, wait until you hear the confirmation tone. This indicates that call forwarding is enabled on your AT&T or T-Mobile phone number<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          \"how<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

          Deactivate call forwarding on AT&T and T-Mobile<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Deactivate call forwarding on Google Fi<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Unlike other network providers, Google Fi does not allow you to disable call forwarding with a simple code. The Google Fi app or website must be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              1. Open the Google Fi app<\/strong>, navigate to the Accounts<\/strong> page, and then click Call forwarding<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n

                Android<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                You don’t have to exclusively rely on your carrier’s app or shortcode for call forwarding. Your Android phone’s default dialer application offers the same capability, allowing you to configure call forwarding for situations when your phone is unreachable, busy, or when calls are left unanswered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                1. Launch Phone app<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                2. In the upper-right corner, press the three-dot menu<\/strong> button<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                3. Go to Settings<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                4. Tap Call Settings<\/strong> if your phone utilizes the Google Dialer app<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                5. Select the Supplementary services<\/strong> option on Samsung phones<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                6. Choose Call forwarding<\/strong> <\/li>\n\n\n\n
                7. If you are asked what type of calls you want to forward, select Voice calls<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                8. Select whether you wish to forward all incoming calls, forward only when your phone is busy or inaccessible, or forward only when the call goes unanswered<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                9. Enter the phone-number to which the call should be forwarded<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                  \"how<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

                  Note: Repeat these steps if you want to turn off call forwarding on your Android phone.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Conclusion <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

So, go ahead, explore the possibilities, and streamline your communication with the carrier that best suits your needs.
