Switching to Ooredoo Kuwait from Zain or STC? Call forwarding is one thing you won’t need to relearn — the same four codes, in the same format, work identically across all three Kuwait operators.
Quick answer
Dial *21*[number]# to forward ALL calls. Dial ##002# to cancel every rule at once.
| Code | Forwards when |
|---|---|
| *21*[number]# | Always |
| *67*[number]# | Busy |
| *61*[number]# | No answer |
| *62*[number]# | Off/unreachable |
Why the consistency matters
Because forwarding is a GSM standard rather than an Ooredoo feature, a household or small team running mixed-operator lines across Zain, STC, and Ooreedo can set up identical forwarding rules on every line without needing separate instructions per carrier.
Cancelling
##002# clears every rule at once, or cancel individually with #21#, #67#, #61#, #62#.
