If you’re trying to figure out how to end call forwarding on your Android device, you’re not alone! Many of us set up call forwarding for various reasons, but sometimes we want to revert to handling calls normally again. Luckily, turning off call forwarding is usually a straightforward process. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you disable it!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Open Settings:
Swipe down from the top of your screen and tap the gear icon to access your settings.
Select Network & Internet:
Look for the option labeled ‘Network & Internet’ or ‘Connections’, depending on your device model and Android version.
Tap on Phone:
You might see an option called ‘Phone’, ‘Calls’, or something similar. Select that to access call settings.
Call Forwarding Options:
Look for ‘Call Forwarding’ or ‘Forwarding settings’. Here, you’ll see different forwarding options that might be enabled (like always forward, forward when busy, etc.).
Disable Call Forwarding:
Tap on each option (if applicable) and toggle them off or select ‘Disable’ on each forwarding setting to turn off call forwarding completely.
Confirmation:
You may get a notification confirming that call forwarding has been disabled. Make sure to check that all options are showing as disabled.
Troubleshooting Tips:
Restart Your Device: If you don’t see the changes take effect immediately, try restarting your phone.
Carrier-Specific Codes: Some carriers allow you to disable call forwarding using a specific code. For example, dialing ##21# can deactivate all call forwarding features. Check with your carrier for the exact codes.
Consult User Manual: If those steps don’t work, consult your phone’s user manual or the manufacturer’s website as interfaces might vary based on device models.
Final Thoughts:
Removing call forwarding should return your phone to its standard call handling behavior. If you encounter any issues or the steps differ from what you see, feel free to share your device model here! The community might be able to provide device-specific advice.

I love how simple it is on Android! On iOS, it’s under Settings > Phone > Call Forwarding. I don’t understand why they make it so hidden sometimes though.
Switching over is annoying! I just realized my landline also has call forwarding enabled. You can often disable it with *73 or by calling your provider.
Ahh, Stacy, that’s hilarious! But seriously, I’ve reflected on this. It’s just so easy to overlook. We need a friendly reminder feature for call settings!
