Ever wondered how you can activate call forwarding on a particular number so you don\u2019t have to be carrying all your phones around everytime, or maybe you\u2019re already tired of the call forwarding and want to deactivate it so your calls can come on your different lines. In this guide, we\u2019ll walk you through how to Activate And Deactivate Call Forwarding on your Mtn, Glo, Airtel & 9mobile lines<\/p>\n
Call forwarding can be very useful when you are busy or your phone is out of reach, you might not want to be carrying your phones everywhere for people using multiple phones and you need to answer all your incoming calls, you can redirect it to another active line so you can receive all your important calls.<\/p>\n
The downside of call forwarding is that you may be charged for the forwarded calls by your service provider, sometimes the calls might be compromised too which might lead to exposing sensitive informations about you, Then another might be the heavy dependence on stable network, If the network is very bad in the area you are you might entirely miss out on important calls.<\/p>\n
Despite the downsides, call forwarding is a useful tool to stay reachable and manage your communication anywhere.<\/p>\n
MTN allows you to forward calls either\u00a0unconditionally<\/strong>\u00a0(all the time) or\u00a0conditionally<\/strong>\u00a0(only in specific situations). Here\u2019s how to activate both:<\/p>\n This forwards all incoming calls to another number, regardless of whether your phone is busy, off, or unreachable.<\/p>\n This forwards calls only in certain situations:<\/p>\n When Busy:<\/strong> When Unreachable:<\/strong> When Not Answered:<\/strong> Note:<\/strong>\u00a0Replace\u00a0 To cancel all call forwarding types:<\/strong> To cancel call forwarding when busy:<\/strong> To cancel call forwarding when unreachable (switched off or out of coverage):<\/strong> To cancel call forwarding when not answered:<\/strong> To cancel unconditional call forwarding (forwards all calls):<\/strong> Wait<\/strong>\u00a0for the confirmation message to confirm that all call forwarding services have been deactivated<\/span><\/p>\n If you\u2019re unsure whether deactivation was successful, you can:<\/span><\/p>\n Dial<\/strong>\u00a0 Alternatively, try calling your MTN line from another phone. If it rings directly, forwarding has been disabled.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Airtel allows you to forward calls either\u00a0unconditionally<\/strong>\u00a0(all the time) or\u00a0conditionally<\/strong>\u00a0(only in certain situations).
