Call forwarding blocked on iPhone

Solved

Hello,

A relative of mine was abroad and enabled call forwarding to me, but I can’t disable it on the iPhone — call forwarding keeps looping. I tried entering the numbers on the keypad but it shows errors and failures. I checked with the operator, nothing on their side. I really need help, thank you.

  1. Hello,

    A restart of the device does not resolve the issue?

    Otherwise, you can try a reset without content deletion

    1. Hello,

      Reset the network settings or a full reset?

      Thank you

      Hello to both of you,

      Did you read the explanations in the iPhone User Guide provided by spiralio whom I greet. Everything is explained there.

  2. Hello Helporfavor, hello Panth33ra,

    Try resetting the network settings first.

    As stated in the guide:

    If you want to save your settings, back up the iPhone before resetting it. For example, if you’re trying to fix a problem but the reset doesn’t solve it, you’ll be able to restore your previous settings from a backup.
    1. Hello,

      I tested both tips and it doesn’t work.

      Thanks

      Try forcing the network to 2G or 3G.

      Older management codes like ##002# work better on classic cellular frequencies.

      Go to Settings > Cellular Network > Options > Voice & Data. Temporarily switch to 3G or 2G (if available).

      Test the code ##002# again

  3. Without conviction, try a full reset.

    Otherwise, you can reach out to the Apple community

    1. Hello,

      Following a tinkering, I managed to fix the problem. I connected to my mobile operator, so Free in my case, then there is the call forwarding option; even if it is disabled, enable it there and then disable it again, and it should work.

      Thank you all

      1. Thank you for the feedback

      2. Hello,

        Apple is rolling out a lot of updates right now.

        I have the iPhone 17 Pro and the 15 Plus, so please make them as well.

        The latest is 26.6.2.

        Keep up the good work and see you on CCM.
