Airtel Call forwarding also known as Call Divert is a phone management feature that helps you to redirect or forward incoming calls to another number. The alternative number can be from a different telecom company within the home country. The good news is that the cost of call forwarding is charged to the caller with the normal calling rate for a given telecom provider. You can choose to forward calls when your number is busy, unreachable, and inaccessible. This article describes how to activate call forwarding on Airtel. However, before we dive into the different methods, please dial ##002# to deactivate any previous call diverts that you did not approve. This method works for both Android and iPhone.
