If the user has two SIM cards on his smartphone, then it is necessary to set up redirection to Huawei and Honor. This useful option will help you quickly switch one SIM card to a second. Modern Androids have a port for two mobile operators. Models with one “input” allow you to enter a personal number into the parameters. Enable the feature by default. This is very convenient, because you don’t need to have several gadgets and carry them with you.
The function has a short name “Forwarding”. It is available on all flagship models. You can activate it using “Settings”, additional free applications or your mobile operator. The Google Market online store offers a wide selection of utilities. Download free programs or pay a few dollars for them. In-app purchases allow you to get the most out of your options. The operator allows a list of combinations for quickly activating the service. Learn digital commands and record them in your smartphone for quick activation.
How to record calls using apps
Recording calls on Huawei is not supported on some models, but you should not despair, as there is third-party software.
Application from Appliqato
The Appliqato developers have released the Call Recording program, which is currently the most popular. To record a conversation, follow the instructions.
- Download the application on the Play Market and launch it.
- First, the user will be asked to select a theme.
- Then you need to select the location where the call recording will be stored. (This could be phone memory, memory card or cloud storage).
- A window will open where you need to check the box next to “Add call volume.”
- After this, automatic call recording will be available.
You can find the recorded conversation in the application in the main menu. You need to open the “Inbox” tab and find the desired call. You will also be prompted to delete the entry, save or share. In the settings you can change the recording format. You can choose the most suitable one for yourself.
Commands for accessing menus
If you don’t know how to enter the engineering menu of a Huawei smartphone , or you can’t do it, then this is not a reason to be upset. Most Huawei devices support so-called “service codes”, which partially duplicate the functions of the engineering menu.
Service codes have been used in mobile phones for a very long time and many of them appeared long before the first Android smartphones came out. However, although such codes repeat some of the functions of the engineering menu, using them is not at all as convenient and completely unsafe. Some of them can literally delete all data stored on the phone or disable certain functions of the device. So, if you are not one hundred percent sure what a particular code means, we do not recommend that you use it for the simple reason that they may interfere with the normal functioning of your phone.
Now let's look at some examples of the most useful, in our opinion, engineering codes:
- *#06# — using this code you can find out your IMEI address.
- *#*#4636#*#* - This code provides you with some information about the phone, namely: device data, battery information, battery statistics and phone usage statistics.
- *#*#7780#*#* - this code resets settings such as Google account data, system data and settings, downloaded applications to the factory state.
- *2767*3855# — this code performs a complete formatting of the smartphone. So think twice before using it.
- *#*#34971539#*#* — this code is intended to obtain information about the smartphone’s camera.
- *#*#7594#*#* — used to change the on/off button modes.
- *#*#273283*255*663282*#*# - Using this command, you can open the file copy screen and use it to backup your most valuable photos or audio recordings.
There are also many other service codes that allow you to very carefully check and configure your telephone. However, due to the fairly large number of them, this will perhaps be a topic for a separate article, and we will move on.
Enable forwarding
Settings using standard options
To enable forwarding on Android using standard smartphone functions:
- launch the dialer (handset icon);
- open "Settings"(standardly this is a gear or dot icon);
- enter "Accounts for calls»;
- select SIM card;
- click on "Call forwarding»;
- will be displayed 4 types of settings (it is possible to program a specific subscriber for each option). Select the one you need;
- enter the subscriber’s phone number and click on “ Enable ”;
- for updating network options starts .
Using apps
If you don’t want to understand Android settings or you need to frequently change the numbers to which calls are forwarded, you can use third-party utilities. For example, Simple Call Forwarding.
Instructions for its use:
- download the utility from Google Play and install it on your smartphone;
- run it;
- in the window enter number, and also specify the time after which incoming calls will begin to be forwarded. There is support for selecting from SIM contacts;
- Click on “ Save ” and then on “ Activate widget on desktop ”.
What kind of thumbnails folder is it – where and how is it used?
Please note: the service may not be provided by your operator. In this regard, you need to find out in advance whether it is possible to redirect a call and, if necessary, activate it.
USSD commands
You can not use the settings of your device, but use the service of your cellular operator to enable forwarding. Almost all of them on their official websites provide a list of USSD commands that allow you to configure the service.
For example, Beeline, Megafon, MTS and Tele2 install the service:
- for all calls : **21*number#;
- if unavailable : **62*number#;
- if there is no answer : **61*number**waiting time (05, 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 seconds)#;
- when busy : **67*number#.
You can find out commands for other operators on the company’s official website or personal account.
How to access?
It is logical that such access cannot be obtained through the standard phone menu. Then how to log in? Special commands are used for this purpose. It is important to note that the manufacturer of a particular brand of mobile equipment can independently change the password:
- First of all, you should try the universal option: *#*#3646633#*#*;
- If there is no result, then you should enter one of the codes that is usually used by Huawei, which also produces Honor smartphones: *#*#2846579#*#* or *#*#2846579159#*#*.

There are several important nuances that you should also be aware of:
- You shouldn’t even try to copy the password or use it by writing it in the phone book. It won't work! Manual input only. The developers specifically did this so that the user is fully aware of his actions. For example, this is a guarantee that the child will not accidentally go into the engineering menu and change the settings;
- Almost always, after entering all the necessary characters, an automatic transition occurs. But some manufacturers have made the command work only after additional use of the call button.
How to set up forwarding on Android Huawei and Honor
First, we configure the settings directly on the phone:
- open the calls section (handset icon on the left on the main screen);
- Click on the three dots at the top right;
- click on the “Settings” item;
- select the “Calls” section;
- Now click on the “Forwarding” item;
- if you are going to keep this tool on a permanent basis, then select the “Always” time frame;
- click "Enable";
- ready.
Usually this function is available on all Android phones, regardless of model, manufacturer and year of manufacture. But if custom parameters are not suitable, it is always possible to use third-party software. The official software store on the Android Play Market will help with this. There are many options there. Among the most convenient and popular:
- Simple Call Forwarding;
- Call Forwarding;
- Call Divert;
- Forward My Calls;
- Easy Call Forwarding and others.
What is digital balance on Honor/Huawei and how to disable it?
You simply write the name of the program in the search window and download it. A mandatory requirement is a stable Internet connection.
It's better to download over Wi-Fi. Next, install and go through a short authorization. Usually this is a confirmation by phone number to which the forwarding will be set.
The third option for activating call redirection is through a PUSH notification to your mobile provider. There are special combinations for this.
Combination | Result |
*21*phone number# | Service activation |
* #21# | Checking status |
##21# | Deactivation of the service |
Is it possible to automatically record calls?
You can automatically record a telephone conversation if your phone has a built-in function. There are two ways to activate it.
First way
- You need to open the Contacts tab on your phone and select the More button.
- A window will open where you can activate Voice Recorder.
- During a call, the conversation with the subscriber will be automatically recorded.
- All conversations will be saved in the smartphone’s memory in the “PhoneRecord” folder.
Second way
- Open “Contacts” and select the desired subscriber.
- Make an outgoing call.
- At the time of the call, a menu will appear on the phone screen where you need to find the button with the voice recorder and press it.
If you still haven’t found all of the above in your smartphone, then the model does not support automatic call recording and you will have to use third-party applications.
