Hello,
I want to program my nfc tag to start forwarding calls, With task phone call and *21#1234567890#. This i can actieve, but i can’t use task phone call and #21#, to stop the call forwarding. Had anyone archieved to stop the dall forwarding with nfc tools?
Pretty sure those are two separate actions, is there a way to set it as a toggle?
You could use tasker https://youtu.be/t3cbS3aez6M it’s not as easy to use but I think you can make it do what you want.
Looked more at it and you can do it in nfc tools if you go to tasks and include conditional blocks

Goodmorning,
Thats exactly whattsapp i have 
The mmi code (Ussd code) for call forwarding is working.
Only the stop code is not working. I get a message: connectionproblem or invalid mmi code.
I use *#21#. When i use this in the phone app. The callforwarding is stopped. So There it works.
So do hou have any ideas?
It might be that * is a special character that needs to be escaped somehow
Hmm, i think so too.
Now the question is how to escape this.
Hello,
I get it working. I make a new contact with the #21#
Then i make a run a shortcut to this new contact,
Then it works.

Hi! I also want to use a NFC tag to forward all calls, but the trailing “#” disappears as my phone runs the MMI code (so there is an error sound, that this number has not been assigned to a person). I’ve also tried creating a contact with the full code (**21*phone number#), but when my Samsung phone calls that contatct the trailing “#” is still missing. This character is also stored in the tag, so the NFC Tools works fine, but my phone cannot see the last #.
The “clear call forwarding” ##002# MMI code has the same problem.
Is there a way the escape the “#” character?
Any help would be appreciated!
Maybe add another#
I’ve already tried that…no effect…
Odd. What if you start with #? I guess my question is does the # make it through at all or is Samsung filtering it out at some part of the NFC stack?
I can see this being done deliberately “for security” so people don’t tap an NFC tag in the wild and suddenly have their phone settings change in such a way as the person not know what’s happening.
There might be another more annoying approach… use tasker to manage your call forwarding and trigger tasker with an NFC tag.

This is the approach I feel is the must appropriate.
