Vi Call Forwarding Code: Steps to Enable or Disable

I used to miss a lot of calls when I was out of coverage or just too busy to answer. Some of them were actually important, and honestly, it got pretty frustrating. That’s when I figured out how simple call forwarding actually is with the Vi (Vodafone Idea) network.

So, if you're also trying to set it up or just want to know the right codes to activate or stop it, I’ve got you covered. In this post, I’m sharing exactly how I do it in simple steps, which codes work for what, and how you can check if it’s already active using the activation and deactivation codes provided by Vi.

What is Call Forwarding in Vi?

Call forwarding in Vodafone Idea (Vi) is a feature that lets you divert your incoming calls to another phone number. This means when someone calls you, the call will automatically go to the number you’ve set like your second mobile phone, a landline, or any other mobile number. So you never miss another call.

Vi gives you full control over when to forward calls. You can choose to:

• Forward all calls
• Forward only when your phone is busy
• Forward when you don’t answer
• Forward when your phone is switched off or out of coverage

Different Vi Call Forwarding Options

Vi offers you a few different ways to forward your calls based on your situation. Here’s a quick look at all the options you can choose from:

• All Calls: Also known as unconditional call forwarding in which every incoming call is forwarded to another number, no matter what. Useful when you don’t want to receive calls directly, or need specific call forwarding setups.
• When Busy: If you're already on a call, the next one gets forwarded automatically to the number you set.
• When Unanswered: If you don’t pick up after a few rings, the call is redirected to another number.
• When Unreachable: If your phone is off, out of coverage, or in flight mode, Vi forwards the call to the number you’ve saved.
• Turn Off All Forwarding: You can stop all active call forwarding settings anytime with a single deactivation code.

Call Forwarding Activate Code in Vi

If you're like me and just need to activate it without digging through menus, Vi's dial codes are super useful. You just dial a code in your smartphone, hit call, and it’s done. Depending on when you want your calls to be forwarded, the code changes a little. Here’s the full list you can use:

Call Forwarding Deactivate Code in Vi

Now, if you've turned on call forwarding but don’t know how to deactivate the service, turning it off is just simple. I’ve done this plenty of times, especially after forgetting I had it on. You don’t need to go through any settings or menus. Just dial the right code depending on what you had set earlier.

Here’s a quick table to help you out:

How to Check Call Forwarding Status in Vi

Okay, now let’s say you’re not sure if call forwarding is still active on your number, or maybe you just want to double-check things before turning it off. I’ve been there. Sometimes I forget whether I completed the activation or not, and instead of guessing, I just use a quick check code for call forwarding for different use cases.

Here’s what works:

Just dial the code, and Vi will instantly show the current status on your screen, whether it’s active, where it’s being forwarded, or if it’s off. No app needed, no settings to tap through.

I always recommend checking first before activating or deactivating call forwarding. It just saves confusion and helps avoid missing calls by accident.

Top Benefits of Call Forwarding for Vi Users

Now that you know how to turn it on, off, and even check the status, let’s quickly talk about why call forwarding is actually useful. I’ll be honest, I didn’t think much of it at first. But once I started using it during network issues and busy days, I realized how helpful it really is.

Here’s what I’ve noticed as the real benefits:

• You never miss an important calls: Whether your phone is off, out of coverage, or you're just not available, your calls still reach you through calls to your chosen number.
• Perfect for low-signal areas: If your main number keeps losing network, you can forward calls to another number that works better in your area. Super useful while traveling.
• Great for work-life balance: I sometimes forward my personal calls to another phone after work hours. Helps me disconnect while still staying reachable in case it’s urgent.
• No app or setup needed: The whole thing works through simple dial codes. You don’t need to install anything, and it works on both smartphones and basic phones.
• Quick to activate or stop anytime: You’re not locked into it. Forwarding can be turned on or off in seconds, and you stay in full control.
