Redirect calls to Xiaomi Redmi Go: full instructions with nuances

Xiaomi Redmi Go is a budget smartphone based on Android Go Edition, which still remains relevant for users who value simplicity and reliability. One of the key features of any phone is call forwarding, which allows you to redirect incoming calls to another number depending on the conditions: busy, no response or unavailability of the network. However, due to the simplified shell of MIUI Go, setting up this option can raise questions.

In this article, we will discuss all the ways to activate redirects on Redmi Go, including standard operator settings, USSD codes and third-party applications. We will pay special attention to the hidden nuances of the function on Android Go devices, where some parameters may be missing or work differently than on full versions of Android, and you will learn how to check the active redirect rules and disable them if necessary.

What is Call Redirection and Why You Need It

Redirection (or call forwarding) is a mobile service that automatically redirects incoming calls to another number under specified conditions. On Xiaomi Redmi Go, you can configure four types of redirects:

• 📞 Unconditional redirect – all calls are sent to another number at once, regardless of the condition of your phone.
• 🕒 If you don’t answer, it works if you don’t pick up the phone within a given time (usually 15–30 seconds).
• 📵 When busy – redirects the call if you are talking to another number.
• 📡 Inaccessible – activated if the phone is off or out of network coverage.

Key use cases: For business, to keep important calls from missing, redirect them to a work number or colleague; for travel, if you have a weak signal, redirect calls to a better-covered number; for security, if you lose your phone, all calls will come to a backup number.

⚠️ Attention: Redirection service may be paid by some operators (for example, MTS or Beeline charge up to 3 rubles per minute of forwarded conversation!

To check availability:

1. Open the Phone app on Redmi Go.

2. Enter *#67# and press the call button.

3. If a message with current settings appears (or a notification about the absence of active rules), the service is available.
