Call divert

Janx — Sun, 27 Jun 2021 09:36:33 GMT

I haven't had a mobile signal at home for the last 10 days and today I received a message saying I would get another update in 7 days if the problem hasn't been fixed before. There is a signal half a mile down the road which is frustrating.

I want to divert calls when there is no signal and there seems to be a code ** 21 * phone number # SEND which should do this. I'm probably missing something but can't work out where to send this code!

Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

My phone is a Xiaomi A2 Lite on the current Android version.

Hi @Janx

You put the code in the dialler app, and the phone number is where you want the call to go to.

I'm OK with definng where I want the diverts to go - it's where to send the code. Google messages, which is how I send texts, needs an address to send it to - maybe I need a dialler App

@Janx

It is the same as dialling a phone number so needs to go into the same application you use to make phone calls.

It usually has a phone icon

Thanks - I'll try that (after walking far enough to find a signal!)
