Call forwarding can be a useful feature when used correctly, but it can also cause problems if activated unintentionally. Many iPhone users on Jio have reported issues where their calls are getting forwarded to another number after ringing for a few seconds. This guide will help you troubleshoot and correctly configure call forwarding on your Jio number.
Why Is Your Jio Call Being Forwarded to Airtel?
There could be multiple reasons why your Jio number is forwarding calls to Airtel or another carrier:
- Call Forwarding is Enabled: If you have previously enabled call forwarding, your calls may be redirecting automatically.
- Network Issues: Sometimes, poor network coverage may trigger call forwarding to another number.
- iPhone Call Settings: Call forwarding settings on your iPhone may be configured incorrectly.
- USSD Code Activation: If you or someone else has accidentally activated call forwarding via USSD codes, it can lead to unintended call redirection.
