How to Check Call Forwarding Status on Android
Dial \*#002# to see a full list of all active call forwarding on your Android phone in one check — it displays every condition currently forwarding (busy, no answer, unreachable) and where calls are being sent. For a single specific condition, use \*#67# (busy), \*#61# (no answer), or \*#62# (unreachable).
Method 1: Universal USSD Check (Works on Any Android Phone)
Dial \*#002# and press call. This single code returns a summary of all forwarding conditions at once, showing something like "Forward when busy to [number]" for each active condition, or "Not forwarded" if none are active.
For individual conditions:
- - \*#67# — Busy
- - \*#61# — No answer
- - \*#62# — Unreachable
- - \*#21# — Unconditional (all calls)
Method 2: Through Phone App Settings
1. Open your Phone app.
2. Tap the three-dot menu (top right).
3. Select Settings → Calling accounts.
4. Tap your SIM, then Call forwarding.
5. Review which conditions are currently enabled.
Note: this method's exact menu path varies by manufacturer (Samsung, Pixel, Infinix, Tecno all differ slightly) — if you don't see "Call forwarding" listed, the USSD method above works universally regardless of device brand.
Why the Phone App Method Sometimes Doesn't Match USSD Results
It's worth knowing: settings changed via USSD codes don't always reflect back into your Phone app's visual settings menu, and vice versa. If you're getting inconsistent results between the two methods, trust the USSD check (\*#002#) as the more direct, carrier-level confirmation.
What to Do If You Find Unexpected Forwarding Active
If a check reveals forwarding to a number you don't recognize:
1. Note the exact number shown.
2. Cancel it immediately by dialing ##002# (cancels all conditional forwarding).
3. Contact your carrier to confirm no further changes were made to your line.
