1. Types of call forwarding to Xiaomi: which one to choose?

Xiaomi smartphones have 4 types of call redirects, each of which works in different situations.

• 📱 Unconditional redirection – all incoming calls are immediately redirected to another number (useful if the phone is turned off or lies at home).
• 🔄 When you are busy, it works when you are talking on a different number (relevant for owners of two). SIM-map).
• 🚫 When unavailable – redirects the call if the phone is out of coverage or turned off.
• ⏱️ If no response is provided, it will be activated after 5–30 seconds (time is adjusted).

For example, if you are often on the subway (where there is no connection), redirects will be suitable if not available, and for business users who can not miss a single call, it is better to set up an unconditional or a combination of several types.

Importantly, some operators (like Tele2) are blocking unconditional redirects for new tariffs, and in this case, you will have to use alternative methods, read about this in the section on the problems.

💡

If you need to redirect calls from only one number (such as work), use the Blacklist function in Settings → Apps → Phone → Number Lock. There you can add exceptions for forwarding.

2. Step-by-step set up redirection through the standard MIUI menu

The easiest way is to use the phone’s built-in settings, and the instructions are suitable for all Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO models based on MIUI 12-14 (including global and Chinese firmware versions).

Open the Phone app (Trainer icon) and follow the following steps:

1. Click on the three dots in the upper right corner → select Settings.
2. Go to Call Redirection (on some models it may be called Additional Settings → Redirection).
3. Choose. SIM-The card you want to set up the rule for (if you have two SIMs).
4. Specify the type of redirect (e.g., Always redirect for unconditional).
5. Enter the number to which the calls will be redirected, in the format +79XXXXXXXXX or 89XXXXXXXXX.
6. Click Enable and confirm the action.

After activation, an icon will appear in the status bar ↗️ — It means that the redirect is working. To turn it off, go back to the same menu and press Turn it off.

If the standard method did not work (for example, due to custom firmware or error) MIUI), You can set up a redirection with the help of USSD-This is a universal method that works even on older models like Redmi. 4X or Mi A1.

Open the Phone app and enter one of the commands depending on the type of redirect (replace the NOMER with a real number without spaces):

4. Redirect to two SIM-How to Set Up Differently for Each?

Settings menu → Call forwarding select the desired SIM-map at the top of the screen (usually signed as SIM 1 and SIM Follow the standard instructions in section 2. Repeat the process for the second sim, if necessary.

An important point: if both SIM-cards from one operator (for example, two MTS SIMs), forwarding may conflict:

• Set up different types of redirects (for example, for SIM 1 when unavailable, for SIM 2 when busy).
• Use different numbers to redirect (for example, one call goes to your home phone, the other to your work phone).

On models with a hybrid slot (SIM + microSD) redirects may be reset after rebooting. To avoid this, turn off automatic network switching to Settings → SIM-maps and mobile networks → Network switching.

5. Problems and Errors: Why is the redirect not working?

If calls are not redirected after setting up, check these points:

• 📵 No network – redirects only work when you are actively connected to the operator. Make sure that the network icon is displayed in the status bar (for example, the network icon, 4G or 5G).
• 💰 Lack of money – some operators charge for redirection (e.g, Tele2 — 1.5 RUB/min. Check the balance.
• 🔒 Blocked number – if the number for redirection is blacklisted or banned by the operator, calls will not pass.
• ⚙️ Setting conflict: if multiple types of redirects are activated simultaneously, they can interfere with each other.

Another common problem is that the operator doesn't support redirects, like Yota's unlimited rates or Tinkoff Mobile's All Over 300 rates, this feature can be disabled. USSD-*#21# If the answer is "Service is not active", contact support.

If standard methods are not suitable (for example, the operator blocks redirects), third-party solutions can be used:

• 📱 Call Forwarding (available on Google Play) – allows you to flexibly configure redirect rules, including a schedule by day of the week.
• ☁️ Cloud PBX (such as Zadarma or Mango Office) – suitable for business. Calls first go to a virtual number, and then redirect to your Xiaomi.
• 🤖 Automation via Tasker – you can create a task that will involve redirecting when you connect to a specific Wi-Fi network (for example, at work).

To set up via Tasker you will need:

1. Install the app from Google Play.
2. Create a new profile with a condition (e.g., State → Network → Wi-Fi connected).
3. Add the action Telephony → Redirect calls and specify the number.

The downside of third-party apps is that they require additional permissions and can drain the battery, but they do offer flexibility, such as configuring redirects only for specific contacts.

To deactivate call forwarding, do one of the following:

• 📱 Through the menu MIUI: Settings → Call forwarding → Turn it off.
• 📞 Through USSD-commands: send ##002# (disables all types of redirects at the same time).
• 🌐 Through the operator’s personal account: find the “Services” or “Additional Options” section".
