To find out how to set call forwarding to another number through the technical support service, dial the number:

• Beeline 8-495-974-88-88

2. In the search or in the list of services, find the service "Forwarding"
3. Click "Connect"

All operators mobile communications use USSD commands to connect and set up call forwarding:

• Connect: *110*031# call
• Forward all incoming: **21*phone number# call
• Number does not answer: **61*phone number**time#call. Specify the time in seconds after which the call will be redirected.
• Busy number: **67*phone number# call.
• Number not available: **62*phone number# call.
• Service deactivation: ##002# call.
• Cancel forward all calls - ##21#

The Tele2 operator provides a service for forwarding SMS messages, which so far only works in some regions of Russia. To activate this service, dial *286*1*phone number in the format +7-ХХХ-ХХХ-ХХ-ХХ# and press the call.

Tele2 call forwarding is a feature that, unfortunately, not all users know about. By connecting it, you can redirect calls from one number to another. This add-on is convenient for users who have multiple SIM cards.

From this article, you can learn how to enable call forwarding from the Tele2 mobile operator.

To begin with, it is worth noting that Tele2 has several types of this service available.

• Unconditional. Suitable if there is no access to the main number, or it is not possible to use it. In this case, all incoming calls will be forwarded to another phone, for example, to mts or a megaphone.
• When busy. In this option, forwarding will occur only if the phone receiving the incoming call is in this moment busy.
• By no response. If you are afraid that you will not hear a call, or it is not always convenient for you to carry two phones with you, choose this option. The call will be redirected to another phone when no one answers the main number.
• By unavailability. This option is relevant if you are in a region where Tele2 does not always catch, but there is, for example, a beeline or mts, but you are afraid to miss an important call. If the main number is not available, the call will go to another phone.

  • Check: *#21#
  • Cancellation: ##21#

• through the phone menu (see the instructions for the device);
• through an appeal to the MTS salon-shop with a passport;
• using a set of the following universal commands:

Redirect Condition	Turning on	Cancel
Redirect condition: All calls	Inclusion: **21*phone number[*TC] 1 #(call)	Cancel: ##21[*TS]#(call)

When setting up call forwarding, you can use the "TC" parameter - the type of telephone connection (10 is set by default):

Smartphone users are sometimes faced with the need to set redirects. This may be due to a business trip where the network of the desired mobile operator is not available, or to a change in phone number when it is necessary to stay in touch with the old number for some time. Call forwarding is not difficult, but there are some nuances.

Forwarding is a function when all phone calls forwarded from one number to another. This is a very useful option, for example, when you need to change your own number, but there is no way to tell all your friends about it. The function will also be useful if the phone often turns off, and you cannot miss an important call.

There are several redirect options:

• Calls are always forwarded. In this case, absolutely all calls are redirected to another phone;
• Forwarding only if the number is busy;
• If there is no answer for more than 20 seconds, only then call forwarding is activated;
• The function is activated only if the phone is turned off or is outside the network coverage area.

All options can be combined at your discretion, with the exception of full redirection.
