Different Methods to Activate BSNL Missed Call Alert

There are two main methods to activate missed call alerts on your BSNL SIM. You can activate the alerts either via phone settings or with USSD codes. 

I have tried both methods, and both seem to work fine. It only depends on your preference which method you want to use. 

So first, I will share steps to activate missed call alerts using USSD codes then we will look at how you can start the service from the phone settings. 

1. BSNL Missed Call activation USSD codes 

To activate missed alert service via USSD codes, open the dialer app on your phone and dial **62*+9117010#. You will see a pop notification on the screen. You need to confirm the selection to activate the service. 

You will instantly receive a notification that missed call service has been activated on your number. Now, you will receive message alerts whenever you miss a call due to network issues, or your phone is switched off.

• Open the dialer app on your phone

• Dial **62*+9117010#

• Confirm the service activation

• You will receive a service activation message

Note: In some circles, the USSD code for BSNL missed call alert (MCA) service activation is **62*17010#. So if the above shortcode does not work, then you can try this one. 

2. BSNL Missed Call Activation Via Phone Settings 

While most people are aware of the USSD codes method, I think very few are aware that they can activate this service from the phone settings. This method works for most Android phones, and you need to follow just simple steps that are almost the same for all manufacturers. 

Open the settings app on your smartphone and go to the call setting option. Now, tap on the call forwarding settings on your phone and select the BSNL SIM. Tap the voice option. 

Next, you must choose the "When Unreachable" option and enter the number +9117010. Now, tap on the Turn On option. The missed alert service will be activated shortly.

The USSD code to deactivate missed call alert on BSNL is ##002#. You need to dial the USSD code from the dialer app and approve the confirmation for deactivation. The missed call alerts will be stopped on your SIM instantly. 

• Open the dialer app on your phone
