How to enable/disable forwarding on Honor and Huawei phones

Reviews from people

Do owners of Honor and Huawei smartphones use engineering mode in everyday life? Let's find out from their reviews:

1. Anton. I have Huawei P20. After six months of use, the sound began to disappear. I answer people, I hear them worse and worse. Cleaned the speaker. Did not help. Thanks to access to the engineering mode, I was able to correct the situation completely on my own, without resorting to the help of paid specialists.
2. Regina. A friend of mine gave me a Huawei Y5 II. I like the phone, but I wasn't initially happy with the camera. I gave it to a friend. Using this menu, he was able to reconfigure it so that I started to like everything. So this is a very useful feature.
3. Vladimir. I tried to access this menu from my Honor 7A Pro. But I couldn’t, unfortunately. Well, okay, I’m guaranteed not to mess it up there!
4. Igor. I learned about this opportunity a long time ago. Naturally, I also found out the access code for my Honor 9 lite. I'm entering. Don `t come in. I tried it five times. But now I’ve learned that you can’t copy – you just have to enter it manually. I tried it now. It turns out that everything works great. Thanks for the info!
5. Oleg. I don’t know why, but on my Huawei Y3 only Project Menu launches. Maybe I'm using the wrong passwords? I seem to be entering it carefully. Or some special version of my gadget.
6. Marina. I have a simple Honor 10 lite. But I really like the smartphone. For me personally, this is the ideal phone, with the right settings. That's why I didn't even try to change anything about it. I know that I will only make everything worse.
7. Yaroslav. It runs on Honor 8X without any problems. The engineering menu really provides a lot of information and opportunities. True, I’m still studying everything carefully. Then I will experiment. In fact, it can be adjusted so that even no additional firmware is needed.

It is important to understand that the engineering menu was not initially intended for active use by ordinary people. Therefore, if you decide to take advantage of its capabilities, you should think in advance about the likely consequences of the changes made, and also clearly understand the purpose of this or that action.

Many of us have long fallen in love with smartphones based on the Android operating system. They have always captivated us with their unpretentiousness, good reliability, as well as convenience and ease of use. The same can be said, in particular, about smartphones from the well-known company Huawei, which are also based on this operating system. The company from the Middle Kingdom always keeps up with the times and equips its phones with the latest versions of the operating system and multifunctional firmware, trying to keep up with the generally recognized leaders in the Android smartphone market.

However, few of us know that already quite convenient Huawei phones can be made even better by fine-tuning them to suit your needs. What we can configure in the phone’s main menu is only the tip of a huge iceberg; the rest is hidden from users in order to avoid device failure. However, people who deal with mobile phones not just at the user level, but, for example, work in a service, can easily access advanced settings on almost any phone using the engineering menu.

Looking ahead a little, it’s worth saying that inexperienced users really shouldn’t go into this “forbidden forest”, so as not to simply ruin their device through carelessness. But if you are confident in yourself and think that you understand technology at a sufficient level, then the Huawei engineering menu is exactly what you need to fine-tune your device as much as possible.

Forwarding using Android settings

In order to enable call forwarding using Android settings, you need to use the “Phone” application. This is the app you usually use to view missed calls and dial new numbers. Launch this application, click on the button with three dots and after opening the menu, go to “Settings”.

In the settings window, you need to go to the “Calls” section.

And then to the “Call Forwarding” subsection.

In the “Forwarding” section, you will have access to 4 separate methods for forwarding calls: “Always forward”, “If the number is busy”, “If there is no answer” and “If the number is not available”.

You can set up call forwarding using any of these methods.

To do this, you need to select a forwarding method, enter the phone number to which you want to forward calls from your Android smartphone, and click on the “Enable” button.

7. Select the line “Always forward”;

8. Next, enter the desired mobile number to switch;
9. Complete the operation by clicking on the “Enable” button.

The second method involves using third-party applications. Download the program from the Play Market electronic store. There are many free programs for comfortable use of the gadget. Download any program, such as Simple Call Forwarding. Using it, it is easy to configure the option, start it or turn it off. Use the store search bar to search for available apps.

The last option is to contact the services of a cellular operator. Open your personal account on the website or use a combination of numbers. Basic commands:

• activate the option *21*digits of personal number #;
• to check, press * #21#;
• to cancel ##21#;
• if there is no number **61*number** the waiting period is set in seconds;
• check *#61#;
• cancel ##61#;

• Is the phone number busy? turn on using the numbers **67*… #
• find out the status *#67#
• disable: ##67#.

If the operator is not part of the Big Four, then USSD commands are located on the company’s website. These combinations are suitable for large Russian cellular operators. These include Tele2, Beeline, MTS and Megafon. Call the number to find out detailed information. Ask questions about the main sets, and learn the combinations.

How to disable call forwarding on your phone through your mobile operator’s personal account?

You can also disable forwarding on the mobile operator’s website. Some service providers use their own app, so you can do this from your smartphone. But, if possible, it will be easier to do all operations on the computer. Services and operators are different for everyone. This means that the list of actions may also vary. Here everything will be demonstrated using the example of the MTS Belarus operator. Its clients must:

• Log in through your browser to the mts.by website.
• Log in to your personal account. To do this, you must first register. Enter your e-mail, create a password, and provide all the required information.
• When the account becomes available, you need to go to “My MTS”, select “Services”, and in the list that appears, select “Cancel forwarding”.

How to disable forwarding via USSD request.

In order to disable forwarding of all calls, you should enter the combination ## 10 * TC#, calls.

Voice mail

Cellular subscribers can not only set up call forwarding on their smartphone, they also have the ability to use voicemail. This electronic system is used to store, record and forward voice messages. This is not a simple SMS, but a recording of an answering machine, so it can be used as an alternative to call forwarding.

Note! To be able to use this feature, you must connect and activate it. Once activated, a call to voicemail is treated as a landline call.

After activating voice mail, go to the forwarding section and enter the answering machine number. New messages appear in your voice box. All information that comes there can be viewed, listened to many times and saved to a smartphone.

The call forwarding feature is very convenient and useful. After its activation, subscribers have a chance to fully use all the capabilities of cellular communications.
