Redirecting to Xiaomi: How to set up and disable in 2026

Call forwarding on Xiaomi smartphones is a useful feature that allows you to automatically redirect incoming calls to another number. This is true if you are temporarily using a second phone, want to forward work calls to a personal number or just do not want to miss an important call when the battery is discharged. However, the configuration of this option in MIUI has its own nuances: the menu can vary depending on the model (Redmi Note 12, Poco X5, Mi 11) and the firmware version.

In this article, we will analyze all the current ways to activate redirects - from standard phone settings to USSD-You will also learn how to check the current redirect rules and quickly disable the feature if it is no longer needed. We will focus on common user errors (for example, why redirects do not work when Flight Mode is turned on) and how to fix them.

What is a redirect and why you need it on Xiaomi

Redirection (or call forwarding) is a mobile service that automatically redirects incoming calls from your number to another. The function works at the operator level, so it does not depend on the phone model or Android version. However, the interface setting may be different: for example, on the Xiaomi 13 Pro with MIUI 14, the menu looks different than on the Redmi 9A with MIUI 12.5.

Main use cases:

• 📱 Temporary use of second phone: Redirect calls from work to personal while you repair the main apparatus.
• 🔋 Battery discharge: If the battery is running out and you are waiting for an important call, forward it to a colleague’s number or home phone.
• 🌍 Roaming: To avoid high incoming rates, redirect them to the local SIM-map.
• 🏢 Corporate needs: for example, redirecting from office to mobile after a working day.

It is important to understand that forwarding is a paid service for most operators (for example, MTS, Beeline, MegaFon). The cost depends on the tariff: sometimes it is a fixed connection fee (about 3-5 rubles), and sometimes payment by call time.

Ways to enable redirects to Xiaomi

On Xiaomi smartphones, there are three main ways to activate call redirection: through phone settings, USSD-We'll look at each of these in detail.

Method 1: Using standard MIUI settings

This is the easiest method that works on most models (Redmi Note 11, Poco F4, Mi 10T, etc.).

1. Open the phone application (pipe icon).
2. Click on the three dots in the top right corner and select Settings.
3. Go to Calls → Call forwarding (on some firmware, the path may be called Additional → Redirection).
4. Select the type of redirect: Always redirect all incoming; If no response is received after 15-30 seconds of unanswered signal; If unavailable when the phone is off or out of coverage; If busy, during another conversation.

Turn on

If the call forwarding option is not on the menu, then your operator is blocking the settings via your phone. USSD-teams (described below).

Check the balance on the account (the service may be paid)

Make sure that SIM-The card is active and catches the network

Record the number to which the calls will be redirected

Disable Do Not Disturb (can block incoming incoming incoming)-->

Method 2: USSD-Teams for all operators

USSD-commands are a universal way to manage forwarding, which works even if the menu on the phone is not available. Commands are the same for all operators (Tele2, Yota, SberMobil, etc.), but can differ in syntax:

Examples of use:

• To redirect all calls to +79123456789, type: *21*79123456789# and press the call button.
• To disable redirects when unavailable, type: ##62#

⚠️ Note: If after the entry USSD-When the command appears message "Service is not supported", so your operator blocks the self-configuration. Contact support or use the official application (for example, My MTS or Beeline).

Method 3: Through the operator's application

Many operators offer their own service management applications, which is convenient if you don't want to remember. USSD-commands or settings on the phone are not available. Examples:

• 📱 MTS: Application My MTS → section Services → Redirection.
• 📱 Beeline: Beeline.Pro → My services. → Call management.
• 📱 MegaFon: MegaFon-Personal Cabinet → Services → Redirection.
• 📱 Tele2: My Tele2 → Services → Calls.

The advantage of this method is a visual interface and the ability to configure forwarding on a schedule (for example, only during business hours), but some applications require registration and verification of personal data.

1. whether the package of minutes is connected on your tariff (without it, calls may not be redirected).

2. is not activated mode Save traffic in the SIM-card settings (may block the operator's services).

3. Are there any restrictions on the number to which calls are redirected (some operators block redirects to international numbers).-->

How to Check Active Redirection Rules

Sometimes users forget that they have previously turned on call redirects and wonder why incoming calls are going to another number. To avoid this, check your current settings regularly.

1. Through USSD-command: type #21# or #62# and press the call button. All active rules will appear on the screen (for example: Voice forwarding: +79XXXXXXXXX").
2. In your phone settings, go to Phone → Settings → Calls → Call forwarding. Active rules will be ticked.
3. In the operator’s personal account: go to the website or application of your provider (for example, Beeline’s personal account) and check the Active Services section.

If the redirect rules are set up but calls are not redirected, the reasons may be as follows:

• 🔴 No network coverage on the main or target number.
• 💰 Insufficient funds in the account (the service may be paid).
• 🔄 Conflict with other services (e.g. Call Waiting or Blacklist).
• 📵 Target number blocked by operator.

• Cancel all redirects: ##002# (Universal Command for All Operators)

⚠️ Note: After disabling the redirection through USSD-##002# all rules are reset, including those configured through the operator's app. If you need to save some settings (for example, redirect when unavailable), disable each rule separately.

Typical problems and their solutions

Even after setting up the redirects correctly, the following is a list of the most common problems on Xiaomi and how to fix them:

On Xiaomi smartphones with two SIM-cards (Dual) SIM) forwarding is configured separately for each line. SIM, Calls to the second card will not be redirected.

Another common mistake is to try to redirect calls to the same operator that blocks such rules, for example, MegaFon may not allow forwarding between its numbers at some rates, in which case use the number of another operator or contact support.
