Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd had commercially launched VoLTE 4G services in India a few years ago and have been working on expanding the network coverage ever since. However, there are many instances where the network gets congested due to the heavy number of users being active at a particular time, leading to a bad signal.

To overcome the problem, Reliance Jio 4G users can still receive incoming calls on their Jio number by forwarding or diverting them to an alternative number. This is also possible in cases of no network. Jio's call forwarding service is currently available with the Jio 4G network and for those users who have a phone that supports the call forwarding feature.

What is call forwarding?

Call forwarding is a feature that has been especially used by mobile users for a long time to divert a phone call to another mobile number so as to not miss calls in any cases.

How to activate call forwarding and waiting in Reliance Jio

To forward call or divert call, you need to have a phone with call forwarding feature. Activating the Jio call forwarding service can be done right from the phone's settings section.

Go to 'Settings' > 'Call' > 'Advanced settings' > 'Call forwarding'

Follow the simple steps listed above by locating your phone's 'Settings' and navigating to 'Call'. Now look for 'Advanced settings' and select 'Call forwarding'.

However, it is worth noting that not every phone comes with this feature. While most of the Android smartphones do offer this feature to activate call forwarding and waiting, it does not work in certain low-end devices. Also, the navigation process may be difficult for many users.
