To deactivate call forwarding, the method depends on the device you are using:

For iPhone

  • Open the Settings app.
  • Scroll down and tap Phone.
  • Tap Call Forwarding.
  • Toggle the switch to Off to disable call forwarding

For Android

  • Open the Phone app.
  • Tap the three-dot menu or settings icon.
  • Select Settings or Call settings.
  • Tap Call forwarding.
  • Choose the forwarding type (e.g., Always forward, When busy).
  • Tap Turn off or Disable for each active forwarding option

For Landline Phones

  • Pick up the receiver and listen for a dial tone.
  • Dial the deactivation code, commonly *73 for most providers.
  • Wait for a confirmation tone or message.
  • Hang up the phone

Additional Tips

  • To disable all conditional forwarding on mobile phones, you can dial ##004# and press call; this resets forwarding settings to default
  • If the standard codes or settings do not work, contact your service provider for the correct deactivation code or assistance
  • Restarting your device after changing settings can help apply changes properly

These steps will stop your calls from being forwarded and ensure calls come directly to your device.
