The invention discloses a mobile terminal and a method thereof for remote activating call transfer. The method comprises the following steps of: sending voice or text message call transfer remote activating order to the mobile terminal; when the mobile terminal receives the voice or text message call transfer remote activating order, the order is decoded for verifying the legitimacy; if the verification is qualified, the information of the transferred target is split; if the voice call transfer is activated, the mobile terminal sends the voice call transfer information to the network and the network side carries out call transfer according to the call transfer information; if the text message call transfer is activated and when the mobile terminal receives the text message, the target address of the text message is converted into text message transferred target number and then the number is sent to the network; and when the network side receives the number, the text message is sent to the into text message transferred target number. The technical scheme can rapidly and flexibly realize remote activation of call transferring functions of voice and text message service when the users forget to take the mobile terminal, which is strong in practicability, simple to operate without changing the hardware and capable of improving the user experience by only changing the software processes.
