HT4515 Activating call forwarding on my iPhone 4S & iphone 5,
Activating call forwarding on my iPhone 4S & iphone 5, I go into "settings", then "phone" then "call forwarding" and then enter the phone number, after that there's nothing, if I exit out of it it just cancels itself out, ANY IDEA's??
Thanks Jeff M
Contact your carrier and make sure you have call forwarding provisioned on your account. Or log on to their customer portal and see if you can check or set the option yourself.

Call Forwarding Breaks with iOS 8.3 Update on iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus with AT&T
Ever since the iOS 8.3 Update, call forwarding is no longer working on my iPhone 6 Plus. I have spent dozens of hours troubleshooting with both AT&T Advanced Business Technical Support as well as many hours with top technicians from Apple at my local Genius Bars.
This is a critical bug for me as I used to use the call forwarding option multiple times a day, EVERY DAY, because when I am in certain business locations my mobile phone gets no reception and calls go right to voice mail. I need to have them forwarded to the land line I'm located at.
APPLE, PLEASE HELP!!!
I've done extensive testing, and this seems definitely to be related to Apple iOS 8.3, and it seems to be specific to the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus ONLY.
To illustrate the EXACT problem:
A: Settings -> Phone -> Call Forwarding
B. Call Forwarding - Turn on
C. Enter Number and return to previous screen by touching the blue "Call Forwarding" to return to previous screen.
D. Call forwarding button is "green" for a split second, then returns to previous OFF state and no forwarding number is displayed. DOES NOT WORK.
NOT AN AT&T PROBLEM. IF SOMEONE IS EXPERIENCING THIS WITH OTHER CARRIERS PLEASE COMMENT HERE.
Further validation this is isolated to iOS 8.3 on the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus ONLY and not the sim card from AT&T...
Here are the latest steps I did with my AT&T sim card and my wife AT&T sim card (she has an iPhone 5s):
1. Removed my sim and put it in the 5s. The phone said that a "carrier update" was required and I selected "NO" to that prompt. Call forwarding functionality worked as expected on the 5s running iOS 8.3
2. I removed the sim from the 5s and re-inserted it. This time I selected "YES" to do the carrier update to eliminate that as a variable, and the call forwarding functionality still worked as expected.
3. I then placed my wifes sim in my 6 Plus. Call forwarding functionality does NOT work on the 6 Plus (was not prompted for carrier update). Also, keep in mind this is my second phone (Apple provided me with a new iPhone 6 Plus when they couldn't resolve the problem at the Genius Bar after hours of troubleshooting).
Note: I did one additional test which as interesting: I put my sim in the 5s and turned call forwarding "on". Then, I put the sim back into my 6 Plus. The calls were still being forwarded to the number I put in while it was in the 5s, but the call forwarding interface in the 6 Plus showed that it was NOT forwarding calls. I could not turn OFF the call forwarding from the 6 Plus and had to put the sim back into the 5s in order to turn off the call forwarding.
If anyone has an update on this, or any other suggestions please advise! This is a critical issue for me as when I travel and when I am in poor areas of reception I need to forward calls. This is a featured I was using multiple times a day, EVERY DAY.
APPLE????????? HELP!!!!!!Yes, I am dealing with this right now on at&t with a 6 plus. I've been down the same road as you. I got it to work with a windows phone yesterday but not my 6 plus when I switched back to the iPhone. My wifes 6 works fine. I believe it is an at&t issue and not an 8.3 issue. After dealing through several levels of support at at&t, they are telling me it has to do with their transition to hd voice. Some people are having this issue because they are updating their system and some peoples phone profile, on phones that have hd voice capabilities, are not getting added to their line and call forwarding will not work without it. I have a trouble ticket open to their engineering dept and they promise it will work for me on or before the 24th of april. Engineering has to build my phones profile so call forwarding will work with my iPhone.
This is frustrating because like you, I need to forward my calls because I have no signal in my office and need to forward to another phone so I can get my calls. If at&t would quit dragging their feet and enable wifi calling, this wouldn't be an issue for me. I would suggest you put more pressure on at&t and escalate this until it gets resolved. Or put your sim in a phone that does not have hd voice capability and see if it works then.
Good luck. I'm keeping my fingers crossed this will be fixed for me on or before the 24th. We'll see.
EDIT: I see you did put it in another phone and it worked. That backs up that the issue is at&t and their hd voice upgrades. They had no explanation as to why some work and some don't, but have them make sure a profile for your phone is on the line. If not, they'll need to build one for the phone so that it''l work. At least that's the story for now. Like I said, I'll know more in a day or two. -
I am missing a "call forwarding icon" when manually actived
Hello
I am using cell telephones for more then 18 years now and i missing one options which was availible on all telephones in the past. (Nokia, Mobira, Motorola Sony-Ericsson) "The Call-Forwarding-Icon"
When I am using to call forwarding services I need to go in the settings menu to see it is active. There is no indication icon that this service is active.
Now I need to go in all the menu for seeing if the call-forwarding is active. Why can apple builtin a small icon (same as bluetooth).
Is their a programm that can display this service?
Who is able to help me?
Regards
GérardApple can help you.

Iphone 5 and 5s visual voicemail and call forwarding problems in UK
Hi
I am in the UK on a monthly pay 4G package with O2 with my iphone 5S.
Every two or three days, visual voicemail switches off saying there is an error with visual voicemail. When this happens, voicemails are left for me, but the caller does not hear my personalised OGM and I have to call in to listen to voicemails - and I get no notification of new voicemails. If I power down my iphone and switch it back on, visual voicemail is restored. But then a day or two later, it all happens again
Another thing I have noticed, is that when I switch my iphone back on after having powered it down, the call forward icon appears on the phone, even though I have not set call forwarding. To celar this I go into settings - phone - call forwarding. this shows that call forwardins is indeed off, and as soon as i reach that screen in settings, the call forwarding icon goes away - and so does my 4G connection. I then have 3G connection for a while and then magically 4G returns after several minutes.
Thsi is all comepletely repeatable - happens every time
Yesterday I noticed that exactly the same things are happening on my wife's iphone 5 - and she is on an EE package
We are both on IOS 7.1
What is going on?lbay wrote:
Immediately after going through the carry-on x-ray scanner at Newark airport, my 5S touch screen screen became unresponsive. I could not tap icons. I could not swipe pages. I could not turn off the phone because I could not swipe the confirmation message. I could use the fingerprint sensor to ask Siri to Google for help, and Safari did open with a list of Google search results. Surprisingly, I could use the touchscreen to scroll up and down the list of search results, but it would not respond to any taps, so I could not open any of the links. I finally did a hard reset and when the phone did come back on, all was well. This is the second time that this has happened immediately after x-ray, and these two times were the only times that this has happened, despite many trips.
Then there was something else unique about those two times that affected the device, either environmental or circumstantial. -
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. -
I no longer get notifications that another call is coming in when I'm on the phone. In the settings under phone I do not see any availabilty for call waiting or call forwarding. I had this feature before installing the new update 6.0.1.
Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer. As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you. I'm sure you'll pay, however.
Let this be a very important lesson learned.

Call Forwarding Number on 3G Not Retained as it was on Original iPhone
On the original iPhone I could turn call forwarding on and off and the number I had set to have calls forwarded to was retained when I turned forwarding back on. With the 3G the number to be forwarded to needs to re-entered each time I turn call forwarding back on.
I called Apple support and also spoke to AT&T support but they were not able to provide any useful information as to why this is or if the feature is not available any longer on the 3G.
Does anyone have any info on this and/or know of a way to have the forward to number "stick"?I have a new iPhone 3G and I have the exact same question. I used to have a Palm 750 (Mobile 6), and it had that feature, but on my new 3G, I have to reenter the call forward number every time, unless I am missing sometime. Seems ridiculous. It should maintain a list of at least 3-5 recently call forwarded numbers, as most persons would only have a select few numbers that they would ever call forward. Also, my Palm 750 had a special icon on the face page showing that I had the call forwarding feature turned on. That was a nice reminder, if I left that building and forgot to un-forward my calls.

Unable to deactivate call forwarding on my Att IPhone 6
I Am unable to deactivate my call forwarding feature on my iPhone 6. I have reset my phone, turned it off for 30 minutes as well as tried to input my own number into the forwarding box. It shows that it is turned off(button is turned to white) but the symbol is still displayed at the top of my screen and calls are still being forwarded.
Call forwarding is a carrier feature, did you talk to them?

hey how are you guys listen i have an iphone 4s the one i use with the H20 CARRIEr and i trying to enable the option call forwarding and when i type tho number i go back and i notice to the call forwarding it turning off as soon i back to the main menu ?
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. -
Unable to disable Call Forwarding function on my iphone 4
Hi,
I enabled call forwarding to a certain number. Now I am unable to remove the call forwarding.
- Tried to "off" card forwarding on iphone setting
- Restart iphone
- Reset all settings
- Called telco to erase my call forwarding details
- Dial ##21#
All to no avail.
Anybody faces the same problem? Is it telco issue or iphone issue.
Help please?This is a telco problem.
The interface on the iPhone for call forwarding is only an interface to access the telco's system and set up call forwarding. It has no control over the actual call forwarding settings.
It might be a good idea to reset network settings on the iPhone in Settings > General > Reset.
You can also eliminate the possibility of it being a setting on your phone by restoring as "new", but that's a bit extreme. -
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. -
Why iphone doesn't tell me when i call someone having an active call that i am on waiting?
why iphone doesn't tell when i call someone having an active call that i am on waiting?
hey i had the same problem, look and i fixed it just slightly tighten the 2 screws on the bottom of the phone with the tip of the knife or a small screw driver!! and now my phone works perfectly
guys it really worked trust me -
Each time my iPhone comes on the call forwarding icon appears, without operating this function. Have been into the Covent Garden shop where we did a reboot and reset and that appeared to fix it, for a couple of days. Now its back, any ideas anyone?
I wonder if it could be caused by something on your carriers end?
Have you spoken to them?

Hi. please solve my problem.
.call information such as call waiting,call forwarding, call holding is not working when caller the call me or im wait for my call i cant see any title by iphon , and also holding is the same.2. there is not any option for call baring.3.playback music is not hearing by second partner during the call.4.i cant select ringing ton from saving tons.
thank you in advance.Hi Ersin,
Exception 1 would seem to be FORMATTING_ERROR, which suggests something in the design of the Smartform. However, that doesn't fit with the form being generated from a report, but only erroring when called from a function module. I can think of no reason why the different calling method would be a factor.
When FORMATTING_ERROR is raise it should also set a message ID and number, are you able to determine what they are?
Regards,
Nick
