There are moments when you need to block certain calls or forward them to another line. Whether it's for privacy, security, or convenience, 9Mobile Nigeria gives you the flexibility to use call barring and call diverting features.

This guide provides all the working USSD codes and settings to help you activate, deactivate, or manage these call features with ease.

Part 1: Call Barring on 9Mobile

What is Call Barring?

Call barring allows you to restrict specific types of calls—outgoing, incoming, or international. It’s useful when you want to:

• Stop calls from going out (especially on a child’s phone)
• Avoid receiving calls when roaming
• Control call usage on your SIM

Part 2: Call Diverting on 9Mobile

What is Call Diverting?

Call diverting, also called call forwarding, is a feature that lets you send incoming calls to another number under specific conditions like:

• When you're busy on another call
• When your line is switched off
• When you don’t answer
• When you want to redirect all calls

9Mobile Call Divert Activation Codes

• *#61# – Divert when not answered
• *#62# – Divert when unreachable
• *#21# – Divert all calls

How To Manage Call Settings Through Your Phone (Alternative Method)

For those who prefer not to use USSD codes:

On most phones (Android/iOS):

1. Open the Phone or Call app
2. Go to Settings > Call Settings
3. Choose either Call Barring or Call Forwarding
4. Set your preferences and input your barring PIN (default: 0000) if prompted
5. Save changes

Important Notes

• Diverting a call will be charged as a regular outgoing call, based on your tariff plan.
• Always double-check your barring PIN and change it if someone else knows it.
• A stable network connection is required for activation/deactivation to work smoothly.
