Oppo: Turn On/Off Call Forwarding

If calls keep landing in your voicemail or a colleague never gets your missed calls, call forwarding on your Oppo phone might be set to the wrong option. ColorOS separates forwarding into If busy, If unanswered, If not available and Always forward, and each one reacts differently depending on your line status. Picking the wrong mode is the usual reason calls disappear instead of reaching a backup number.

Turn On/Off Call Forwarding auf Oppo

Call forwarding on Oppo phones with ColorOS routes incoming calls to another number based on your line status. The system distinguishes between four separate triggers, and each one needs to be turned on individually.

Why calls go missing or land elsewhere

If forwarding is set to Always forward, every incoming call skips your phone entirely and goes straight to the target number, even if your phone is on and reachable. If Unanswered or If busy only trigger under specific conditions, so a call that seems lost might actually be forwarding correctly to a number you forgot about.

Where to check and change the setting

Open PhoneMenuSettingsCalling accountsCarrier call settingsCall forwarding.

On dual-SIM devices, pick the SIM card first, since each SIM has its own forwarding configuration. Then turn the relevant option on or off and enter the destination number if the option is being enabled.

When this is not the right fix

If calls fail before forwarding even applies, the issue is usually network registration or airplane mode, not the forwarding settings. Carrier-side blocks can also override the setting from the phone, so a call that still fails after correct configuration may need a check with your carrier.

Frequently asked questions

Some carriers store the forwarding rule on their network side. Repeat the steps in Call forwarding and confirm the toggle actually shows off, then restart the phone to force a status refresh.
