Call Forwarding: What it is, Risks, and How to Disable It

• Call Forwarding redirects incoming calls from your number to another specified number.
• It activates when you're busy, don't answer, or your phone is off/out of network, or if manually set.
• Useful for managing calls across devices or poor network, but poses risks if unauthorized.
• Unauthorized forwarding can lead to privacy breaches, interception of OTPs and sensitive calls.
• Check status by dialing *#21# and disable all forwarding by dialing ##002#.

Why It Matters: Understand Call Forwarding's utility and risks; check and disable it if unauthorized to protect privacy.
