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.

Call Forwarding for Voice Calls is a Carrier Specific feature please contact your Carrier to understand this feature better.


Here are the steps on how to set up voice call forwarding to another number:


  1. Check with your carrier. Not all carriers offer call forwarding, so you'll need to check with yours to see if it's an option.
  2. Find the call forwarding settings. The exact steps for this will vary depending on your carrier and phone model, but you'll usually find the call forwarding settings in your phone's settings menu.
  3. Choose a call forwarding type. There are different types of call forwarding, such as always forward, busy forward, and no answer forward. Choose the type that best suits your needs.
  4. Enter the number you want to forward your calls to. This can be any phone number, including a landline, mobile phone, or Google Voice number.
  5. Turn on call forwarding. Once you've entered the number you want to forward your calls to, turn on call forwarding.


Here are some additional tips for setting up voice call forwarding:


  • If you're forwarding your calls to a Google Voice number, you can set up custom call forwarding rules. This allows you to forward calls from specific contacts or groups to different numbers.
  • You can also turn off call forwarding at any time. To do this, simply go back to the call forwarding settings and turn off the feature.

If the following Apple iPhone forwarding-related features are not working (and they appear to be working correctly), or if the feature codes (USSD) are not working (and they appear to be working as expected, and with the expected and usual not-forwarded configuration), contact your carrier.

There is no forwarding set here, no issues, nothing wrong, and no hacks.


Feature codes (USSD) can vary by carrier, though the codes are not particularly secret.


These codes are not used to hack things, and not useful for hacking things.


These codes can be used by the iPhone to control carrier-related features.


Want call forwarding? You can use the iPhone user interface to enable that, or can use the feature code.


Using the iPhone call forwarding and related mechanisms to control this is just easier to use.
