Using call forwarding on iPhone is usually very simple, but sometimes it can also be a problem. In general, the main problem is that the calls are not forwarded and you continue to receive them on your original phone. In special cases, you cannot set up call forwarding, perhaps because the Call Forwarding option cannot switch to On status .

Fortunately, there are several ways to solve such problems.

1. Make sure you have entered the correct phone number.

Using inaccurate numbers is also useless as no numbers are entered. You should double-check the entered number and also make sure that the number is active.

2. Turn off mobile data and then turn it back on. In support forums, some mobile operators recommend that users turn off mobile data, turn off call forwarding and then turn on both options again. You can do this by visiting Settings> Cellular on iOS and Settings> Network & internet> Mobile network on Android.

3. Restart the device.

4. Update phone. If you are an iPhone user, learn how to update iOS. On Android, go to Settings> System> System update .

5. Reset your phone's network settings.

1. If you have an iPhone, you can do this by going to Settings> General> Reset> Reset Network Settings .
2. If you have an Android phone, go to Settings, then click General Management or System. From there, search for one of the Reset Options, Reset Wi-Fi, Mobile, and Bluetooth options or Network Settings Reset .

Also, if you can't set up call forwarding using the Settings section of your phone, try it through your mobile service provider. This applies to both iPhone and Android users.

Hopefully, you don't have to try any of the above troubleshooting measures, because call forwarding is often a simple and effective feature. Take advantage of the feature if you don't want to be bothered by calls.
