Or for whatever reason we are going to have a phone different from ours on hand. The solution to such problems is simply to forward calls. This implies that when they call us, our phone will not ring but another.

What is a call forwarding?

The option of call forwarding It allows us to divert the calls that reach us to another number. Either because we can't or because we don't want to answer in ours.

It is one of those Android features that have been available for several versions, but that few people know about. In addition, you can configure it so that the diversion always occurs or only in the circumstances that we want.

Activate by code

There is a method to divert the calls by means of a code. The process is fairly simple. All you have to do is, on the dial of your phone, dial **Diversion code*phone number#. In the place where we see the diversion code we can add the following options:

  • 61. Divert the call when you don't answer the phone.
  • 62. Divert when the phone is switched off or out of range.
  • 67. Divert when the phone is busy.
  • 21. Divert all calls.

Activate via the Settings menu

A much easier way to forward calls on Android, is from the phone itself. To do this we will have to enter the Settings menu. There we will have to choose the option Calls or Call accounts (it will depend on your version of Android and your customization layer.

In the event that you have a dual SIM device, you will have to choose the card whose calls you want to forward.

Later, we will have to select the option Call forwarding. At that moment a menu will appear in which you can choose the following options:

  • Always divert.
  • Divert when in communication.
  • Divert when not answered.
  • Forward when off or out of range.

In the next step, we will have to choose the number to which we want to forward the calls. From there, when your phone rings it will do so at the number you have indicated.

Disable call forwarding on Android

If what you want is to deactivate call forwarding, you will have to follow the same process but in reverse. That is, we will have to re-enter the corresponding menu and, this time, select the Deactivate option. In this way, the calls will return to your phone.
