USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Service Data) codes for mobile devices are specific to each carrier and can vary depending on the country as well. USSD codes are short codes that allow users to access various services and features provided by their mobile carriers. These codes are dialed on the phone's keypad, and when you press the call button, they trigger specific actions or provide information.


Since different carriers have their own set of services and features, the USSD codes used to access them will be unique to each carrier. Furthermore, the same carrier may have different USSD codes for different countries, as their services and offerings can differ based on the local regulations and market conditions.


Some common examples of USSD codes include checking your prepaid balance, activating/deactivating services, checking data usage, and setting up call forwarding, as mentioned in the previous discussion about call forwarding.


If you want to use USSD codes to access specific services or features on your mobile device, you should contact your mobile carrier to obtain the correct codes for your region and plan. They can provide you with a list of the available USSD codes and explain how to use them effectively.


Here are some examples of standard USSD codes that are commonly used by mobile carriers to provide various services and features to their customers:


  1. Check Account Balance: *#BAL# or *#225# or *#646# or *#3282#
  2. Recharge/Top-up: *#123# or *#131# or *#111# or *#121#
  3. Check Data Balance: *#DATA# or *#3282# or *#646# or *#932#
  4. Check Voice Minutes: *#MIN# or *#646# or *#646# or *#646#
  5. Check SMS Balance: *#SMS# or *#3282# or *#646# or *#767#
  6. Enable/Disable Call Waiting: *43# (to enable) or #43# (to disable)
  7. Enable/Disable Call Forwarding: #21# (to check status) or **21PhoneNumber# (to enable) or ##21# (to disable)
  8. Check IMEI Number: *#06#
  9. Activate/Deactivate Data Roaming: *#766# or *#ROM# or *#768# or *#RON#
  10. Customer Service Helpline: 111 or 123 or 121 or 611 or 911 (varies by carrier)


Please note that the actual USSD codes can vary depending on your specific mobile carrier and country. These examples are meant to give you a general idea of the types of services that can be accessed using USSD codes. It's always best to refer to your carrier's official website or contact their customer support to get the accurate and up-to-date USSD codes for your region and plan.

Cellular Voice Call Forwarding is a carrier-specific feature on an iPhone, meaning that its availability, activation process, and any associated charges can vary depending on the cellular service provider you are subscribed to. This feature allows you to divert incoming calls from your iPhone to another designated phone number, ensuring that you never miss important calls, even when you're unable to answer on your primary device.


To enable or configure Call Forwarding on an iPhone, you need to utilize the carrier-specific call forwarding code provided by your cellular service provider. The code usually consists of a combination of characters, often starting with "*" and ending with "#," followed by the phone number to which you want your calls forwarded.

Due to the variations among different carriers, it is essential to consult your specific cellular provider to gain a better understanding of how to use this feature effectively. They can provide you with the accurate call forwarding code and offer insights into any potential charges that might be associated with call forwarding usage.


When activating Call Forwarding, your iPhone will automatically redirect incoming calls to the designated phone number, and callers will be unaware that their calls are being forwarded. Once the forwarding is enabled, your iPhone will no longer ring for incoming calls; instead, the forwarded number will receive the calls.


To deactivate Call Forwarding, you can again use the carrier-specific code provided or contact your carrier's customer support for assistance. Remember that some carriers may have specific restrictions or limitations on call forwarding, such as international forwarding or the number of forwarding attempts.


Overall, contacting your carrier is the best course of action to gain a comprehensive understanding of Call Forwarding on your iPhone. They can provide detailed information about the feature, clarify any doubts you may have, and ensure that you can efficiently manage your incoming calls to suit your needs.
