Does Call Forwarding use Plan Minutes

If I forward iPhone calls to another phone, does AT&T charge me for every minute of the forwarded call (even though I didn't use the iPhone to talk)?? I would like to forward my calls to my OnStar hands free phone system when I am in the car (but don't want to pay Verizon for 30 minutes AND AT&T for 30 minutes for a 30 minute, forwarded call).
Before you say "no way they would do this..", read this from the Verizon call forwarding support page:
+Airtime applies to forwarded/transferred calls even if you send the call to wireline telephones.+

The AT&T people I have talked to "glaze over" when you talk about iPhone. I was hoping just one person in the forum would know (and do this on a regular basis). This answer will decide if I get an iPhone or not. I don't trust an answer from an AT&T call center or showroom floor salesperson. On the other hand, I trust the experts on this forum totally.

Facetime: iPhone 4 to iPhone 5 uses plan minutes?!?!?!

I have a iPhone 4 and my friend has an iPhone 5. We Facetime all the time, and she just recently found out that her minutes from her phone bill was being all used up. I never had seen this before and i tried searching this up online but no help. So i just wanted to know if Factiming would use your carrier minutes or wifi only?

No it does not count against your voice plan. If you are using Wi-Fi, it does not count against your plan at all. If you are using a cellular connection, it counts against the data plan, but not the phone plan.

Which port does Caller id use?

Replaced my verizon router with a netgear wndr 3700 connected to the ont and connected the vz router to the netgear lan -> wan
All appears to work ok except for caller id. I guess one of those port forwarding of verizon services in the vz router controls that?
Anybody have any idea which one it is?
Solved!

Have you tried placing the Verizon router in a "DMZ" on your new router?
Good Luck.

Call forwarding on iPhone4. I am sick of trying but once I input the number and go back to call forwarding, it turns off call forwarding. Any idea why

tried the simple way of call forwarding going in to settings>call forwarding> turn on call forwarding> enter number> return to call forwarding
but the status is going back to 'off' from 'on'
I also tried *61*number# but there again its failing. Can someone assist please?

Who is your carrier? Not all carriers support enabling and disabling call forwarding using the controls in Settings.

World Plan minutes used info...... Nonexistent, WOW!!

We signed up for the world plan several weeks ago, and if we had known that it would be this difficult to find out how many minutes we've used, we would have gladly pay more for a simple phone card.
So what's the deal folks? The website does not work. Under my services, voice, I see my WORLD PLAN, I see the usage bar, but there is no info, nothing even if you hover above it.
I've called a bunch of phone numbers, only to be forwarded to a different department every single time. How can there not be a simple number or texting system in place for us to find out our usuage?
After three different verizon numbers, this is my last stop, the forum. How can things be this difficult? Can anybody share their success story on what to do to find out minutes used or minutes left? This is a great way to cheat customers. They don't know how much they've used, so they're conservative and leave minutes that cannot be rolled over. Or, they go over and get charged an arm and a leg. Venting!!!!!!

This topic is just a demise, and apparently there is no regulator interested into looking in schemes like this. According to their disclaimer Verizon is supposed to update the timer showing your minutes left not later than 48 hours, currently they have not updated mine for over a week!! The week before your minutes period is set to expire they deactivate that feature, so that you either use the least possible amount or go over your threshold to bill you additionally by the minute. It is just unbelievable what happens with this out of control organization.......

Why does skype forward my calls

Why does skype forward my calls to my skype number when I am online?

Hi sydneysmith1234,
I can see in your account that you have an active calling subscription. Please note that subscriptions renew automatically, as stated in our Terms of Use. You will be charged for it's renewal depending on the period you selected. Please refer to the private message I sent to you for further details.
To check your private message, just go to Skype Community home page (community.skype.com), scroll at the bottom of the page. You will see "Private Message" just above "Users Online."
Due to the time it can take for some transactions to be processed, we charge you three days in advance to ensure prompt delivery of your subscription. You do not lose these three days: your subscription is still valid for the full period that you sign up for.
Your subscription will renew even if you are not using it. Skype subscription is the same with other subscriptions like cables, telephones, etc., wherein you are automatically charged for their renewal.
For more information on how subscriptions work, you may refer to this link: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10414/

Does anyone know of an ap that will auto call forward all voice calls from my iphone4 to a different number (office) at set times each day? IE - i want my business iphone to automatically call forward at 0830am weekdays and cancel the call forward at 6pm

I am trying to find an app that will automatically forward all voice calls at preset times each day
IE - at 083am weekdays
and automatically cancel the call forward at 6pm weekdays
At the moment i am doing it manually with alarms set to remind me
Seems a pretty basic "want" but - i cant find anything
And APPLE - make it easier to find APPS in the APP store - wy not have a search feature that you can type in what you are looking for??
Thanks!!

There are no apps to do what you want, that's why you can't find any. No app would have access to the necessary API's to do this, thus only Apple could implement such. You can suggest such to Apple here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
Another suggestion is to look at Google Voice. I don't know if it offers these specific features or not, but it is highly customizable.

HT201401 My iPhone3GS has started crashing. I'll be mid-phone call, or using an app, when the screen will go dark. I have to restart it. Then it shows low battery sign (even though it was 100%). Within 1 minute of charging, iphone starts. Pl. resolve.

My iPhone3GS has started crashing. I'll be mid-phone call, or using an app, when the screen will go dark. I'll have to do a restart. It dumps to the warning screen that there's no power and needs to be plugged in.
Once I connect the phone to a power source, in a couple of minutes it's ready to roll again, and displaying a "full battery" icon.
The phone is almost always fully charged when this happens, and I don't get a crash when the phone is plugged into a power source.
Took my iphone to apple store, they informed that battery is very good and there is no need for replacement. Might be there is a problem with iphone motherboard. But they can't repair it as my 3GS crossed warranty.
Where should I go to repair this. Within 2 years...this 32GB 3GS is almost garbage for me with no support from apple. I am ready to send it to apple for repairs and pay the repair charges.
I tried everything... deep reset ... factory settings .... nothing is working... Apple staff pl. take care of your customers ...

There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage. There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.

My task bar in my iphone 5 does not indicate call forwarding (verizon is my carrier

my iphone 5 does not show call forwarding in task bar (verizon is my carrier

Settings>>Phone>>Call forwarding ON.
If it is not there, then you need to take it up with Verizon as it is a carrier feature.

Is there a way I can delete my primary @me email address so that I can receive emails only via my "reserved" @icloud address. eg. delete "msjones@me" and receive emails via "msjones@icloud" only.The reason being, I receive a fair bit of spam to my @me address. Going forward I plan on using an alias for certain websites to minimise this problem.

You can't delete the address, but you can set up a Rule to move messages to that address to the Trash or another folder. Go to http://icloud.com and go to the Mail page, click the cogwheel icon at top right and choose 'Rules'.
It's a bad idea to post your email address - it's an invitation to spam - even though in fact you haven't posted them in full; I've asked the hosts to remove them.

How much data does forwarding use?

Hi All,
Just curious if people know how much data forwarding uses? I'm traveling to Europe next week and need to have my phone available until I meet someone, but then I want to forward it to my home number for the rest of the trip. I know forwarding uses data so I was curious as to what the hit would be to forward it from France.
Thanks!
