Q about call forwarding

I have a question about call forwarding. I know how to start and stop the call forwarding and I get the part about being charged minutes for the forwarded call. My question is if I receive a call from a verizon wireless customer and I have it forwarded to my home number which is in my top ten, will I still be charged for any minutes for the call.
Thanks

Thanks for the information budone and SuzyQ. 
nightrider13,  your community leaders are correct. If you set up call forwarding on your mobile phone and have your calls sent to your home phone, each call that comes through is sent through our system and billed according to the type of call it is. If its a Verizon wireless customer, it will be mobile to mobile. If the number is listed on your friends and family, it will be no charge to your mobile account. The only charges we can not verify are to your home phone service.

  • Problem with call forwarding and "call divert"

    I have been receiving calls lately and a dialogue box pops up and says "fowarded call" with a button that says "dismiss" - I'm not sure why or how to disable this. in my settings I have call forwarding turned off. Also when I make calls I sometimes see messages saying something about call forwarding active or active diverts. Again I have call forwarding turned off and I see no settings for divert. How can I fix this?
    Thanks.

    i am having a similar problem.  I have a Pearl 8100 with T-Mobile.  I've had it for almost two years (since Jan. '07).  About four weeks ago, this problem started.  I have a landline office phone through AT&T, and when I leave the office, I forward this land line to my Pearl.  When someone calls my office after hours, on nights and weekends, the problem is that instead of the person's name and phone number showing up on my caller ID, my Pearl shows that I am calling myself from my own cell phone!  I don't get "Private Number" like you get, the caller ID shows that I am calling myself!
    I've spent six or seven hours with T-Mobile tech support, with five different tech people over a period of several days and several phone calls, and they can't figure it out; their final and "best" answer is that it's a blackberry problem, that the issue has been addressed and identified as a "known issue" and a "trouble ticket" has been created.  I contacted RIM and they directed me to their archived troubleshooting and to this forum, so I still don't have an answer.  And T-M had no answer when I told them that this feature worked just fine from Jan. '07 through Aug. '08.  T-Mobile offered to put me into a different device, the T-Mobile wing, which by fair assessment, looks like a piece of junk, and it's window's mobile, which is even worse.  I rejected this option.
    I'm hoping someone can solve this.  One friend of mine thought that it's a network issue, any issue with caller ID would be with the network, not the phone or its software...this makes some sense to me...and one of the techs at TM thought that this could be the issue as well.  As T-M upgrades its networks to 3G, these bugs are popping out. who knows, I'm sticking with this Pearl and 8100 for a little while longer, b/c I am waiting to see if an answer shows up somewhere on one of the forums, but I hate not knowing who's calling before I answer the phone!

  • 8330 Call Forwarding​...How do I set the number of rings before calls are forwarded?

    8330 Call Forwarding...How do I set the number of rings before calls are forwarded? Right now it instantly forwards my calls but I don't want that. I want to change it so that let's say that if after 5 rings I don't answer the call is forwarded. I've looked everywhere for an answer but have had no luck. Any help would be appreciated. I am with Virgin Mobile if this makes a difference.
    Thank you

    Well, call forwarding is a feature provided by your carrier -- it is not a function of the device. However it works for your carrier is how it works. Actually, from what I understand about call forwarding, it normally is an all-or-nothing circumstance...calls forward to the number you've asked them to be forwarded to, keeping you in a DND status. Regardless, though, if your carrier tells you how it works on their system, there's nothing that the device can do to override that. Unless there is some kind of 3rd party app that would do it, bypassing (somehow) the carrier network CF feature...but I've never heard of such a thing.

  • Call forwarding

    hello all,
    I can't understand why iphone did not make the software more friendly (bussiness) talking about call forwarding.
    other smartphones, have the option to forward a call depending of situation. maybe I want to forward only when I;m out of reach, or when I decline a call.
    instead, aple offer us just this solution: to forward all calls.
    what do you all think?
    thanks,

    Odd, but then again, that is a carrier provisioned service.
    Call your carrier.

  • 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?

    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.

  • Support Line - Call Forward All through Hunt Pilot to cell phone

    I know I may be beating a dead horse, but I've found so much help in these forums that I figured I'd give it a shot.
    We have a Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition and we are running into a configuration issue. What we would like to do is to create an emergency support line for our IT staff. The way we would like this to function is that a caller dials a number, CM accepts the call and dials out to our IT staff's cell phone numbers in a round-robin fashion. To avoid the caller getting dumped into the IT staff's voice mail on their cells, we would like the staff member to have to dial a number to accept the call. If there is no answer, the call rolls to the next cell number. If no one is available, the caller should be directed to Unity Connection to leave a message. Unity then will send out text and email messages to the support staff.
    I know that we can use Unity to perform an assisted transfer, which will require the user to press "1" to accept the call, and we are able to get Unity to send out the notifications (text and email) when a voice message is left. The issue is with Call Manager making the outbound calls to the cell phones.
    What we have attempted is to setup DNs that call forward all to the users cell numbers. These DNs have been added to a Line Group, which has a Hunt Pilot attached to it. Any time this pilot is called, we get a reorder. Using the DNA, we see that "no device is associated with the DN", which is under the DN for the first users cell forward. If we add that DN as a second line to that users IP Phone (7940), then the call into the Hunt Pilot rings that line on the IP phone, not the CFA to the cell phone.
    After weeks of digging around, it seems as though CFA in a Hunt is just not possible. My boss wants official word from Cisco about this, but TAC doesn't seem to want to help due to service contract issues (which blows my mind, as we have opened several cases in the past two months for configuration related issues). Our Business Edition came with Contact Center Xpress, although we do not have the resources available to install it. If CCX will carry out this task, that might be enough to push management into getting another server to support this, but without being able to play around with it, I don't know.
    If anyone has any suggestions on how to make this work, I would GREATLY appreciate the help!
    Thanks in advance,
    -Geoff

    Hi Geoff,
    Always interesting isn't it :)
    Call Forward settings on individual Hunt member phones are ignored when presented a call via the Hunt feature. Here is a clip;
    The concept of hunting differs from that of call forwarding. Hunting allows Cisco CallManager to extend a call to one or more lists of numbers, where each such list can specify a hunting order that is chosen from a fixed set of algorithms. When a call extends to a hunt party from these lists and the party fails to answer or is busy, hunting resumes with the next hunt party. (The next hunt party varies depending on the current hunt algorithm.) Hunting thus ignores the Call Forward No Answer (CFNA) or Call Forward Busy (CFB) settings for the attempted party. This also applies to CFWD ALL settings.
    From this doc;
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/products_administration_guide_chapter09186a00803edabe.html#wp107892
    So, any Forwarding settings have to be done on the Hunt Pilot itself. These Destination settings (on the Hunt Pilot) need to be configured to go to the Unity Voicemail Pilot # or perhaps this is where you Forward out to the Cell #;
    Hunt Forward Settings
    Forward Hunt No Answer - When the call that is distributed through the hunt list is not answered in a specific time, this field specifies how to forward the call.
    Destination This setting indicates the directory number to which calls are forwarded. (This can be the Directory Number of the Unity VM Pilot)
    Forward Hunt Busy - When the call that is distributed through the hunt list is busy in a specific time, this field specifies how to forward the call.
    Destination This setting indicates the directory number to which calls are forwarded. (This can be the Directory Number of the Unity VM Pilot)
    Maximum Hunt Timer - Enter a value (in seconds) that specifies the maximum time for hunting.(Used in conjunction with Forward Hunt Busy)
    Maybe you could leverage these Unity Connection configs to achieve your desired results. These will ensure that the Message is not left unattended;
    Cascading Message Notification
    Cascading message notification allows you to send notifications to a widening circle of recipients. Cisco Unity Connection continues to send notifications according to the devices you selected until the message has been saved or deleted by a recipient.
    For example, to create a cascade of message notifications for your Technical Support department,
    Chaining Message Notification
    Message notification can be set to "chain" to a series of notification devices if an attempt to send notification to the first selected device fails. The definition of failure to a notification device is based on the options you select for retrying a device that is not answered or is busy.

  • Call forwarding to wrong number

    I have call forwarding set to forward calls to my cell phone. In the past few days three or four calls have been transferred instead to my home phone, which is a big nuisance, because I'm in the US at the moment and, because of the time difference, they're often waking my husband in the middle of the night in Italy. 
    These callers don't even know my home phone number. They always call my US Skype number. A few months ago, I had temporarily set forwarding to my home phone, but changed it back to the cell phone. I checked the settings on my account, and it's definitely set to the cell phone number. When it first happened, I first checked the account, then I asked someone to try calling my Skype number. That time it transferred correctly to my cell phone. I didn't understand how it could have happened, but thought it woul never happen again. However it's happened again twice today. Now some people don't want to risk waking my husband, or attempting to converse with him in English, so they're just not calling me at all.
    If anyone could solve this mystery, I'd greatly appreciate it, and so would my husband.

    Lots of SKYPE tel. numbers were wrongfully forwarded to my company's land line 626-576-9900 in the past 30 days (4/20/2015 - 5/20/2015) or so. Please test (call your SKYPE tel# from other lines to see where it ends) and call SKYPE to correct it as soon as possilbe if you own any of these numbers! I suggest everyone who owns a SKYPE number do the test. You might have missed a lots of calls you supose to receive. These numbers are as following.
    281-973-2121
    281-973-6874
    281-973-6695
    304-932-0943
    301-579-5097
    317-395-7485
    301-579-5316
    281-973-6045
    281-973-6090
    203-903-0092
    281-973-6833
    281-713-6436
    317-413-9306
    203-208-6591
    I've chat on-line with SKYPE customer/tech. support 2 times, got 2 case#s, 1288597626 (5/5/2015) and 1288963288 (5/8/2015), however I tested 2 of the above numbers just now (10:15 AM, 5/20/2015), both are still forwarded to my company's number 626-576-9900. One of SKYPE custmer service reps. did tell me that they (SKYPE) can do nothing about it because I am not the owner of any of these numbers. Please spread the above message to any one you know who has a SKYPE number.  

  • Why do I have to set call forwarding 3 times every time?

    I have an iPhone 5s running 7.1.1.  Every time I have to set my call forwarding I have to enter the number that I want to forward to (doesn't the phone store this?) and I have to set it 3 times.  I go to Settings-->Phone-->Call Forwarding then select the slider to on (my number I have forwarded to previously is not in the list.  I type in my number and select Back.  The number isn't saved and the slider is still off.  I click the slider and am directed to enter the number to forward to.  I type in number a choose Back.  The number isn't saved and the slider is still off (again).  I select the slider to turn Call Forwarding on (3rd time).  I input number and select back and FINALLY the call forwarding is set.  Come on Apple.  I would expect this from droid junk, not you.  Anyone else having this problem?

    Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • Call forwarding and 8.3

    Since updating to 8.3, I am not longer able to activate call forwarding. I use at&t and have used this feature before, but not since upgrading to 8.3. Won't turn on in settings or dial pad. When I try to set it, forst there is no ok button. All you can do is back out of the forwarding screen. When I do, call forwarding dims out for about 2 seconds and then just shuts back off. Get an error trying to forward through the dial pad. I've called at&t and they reset my account and said they are having no issues with forwarding. Had a friend test forwarding on his iphone and at&t and his forwarding works fine, since he's still running 7.1.2.
    Anyone else having this issue and/or did you get it sorted out? I need to be able to forward my calls. Help.

    Hello, jtmo3.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand that you are unable to activate call forwarding on your iPhone.  Depending on what carrier you have, this could be related to a provisioning issue.  I would recommend checking with your carrier to make sure this feature is provisioned or not blocked.

  • Is there any other way to achieve per user call forward restriction other than to create multiple voice policies?

    Hello,
    We mentioned the environment details below:
    Environment
    In our PBX environment, currently a user can forward calls to any local (within a region) internal extension. But for external PSTN call forwarding, a user needs to send a request and be approved by their manager. And the forwarding restriction
    is applied such that user is only allowed to forward to that particular PSTN number - to prevent toll fraud.
    Moving forward to Lync, using voice policy's call forwarding and simultaneous ring PSTN usages, I can set it to allow forward and simultaneous ring to custom PSTN usage and a custom route that will only send calls to these pre-approved
    external numbers.
    Outcome
    But in such a scenario,
     sSince all the custom external allowed numbers will have to be put into a single Route match table, User A will be able to successfully
    set up call forward to User B's number. (if they come to know about it somehow, that is)
    rü 
    Route matching list will be very long due to the number of users per hubsite that has call forwarding enabled.
    Questions
    Is there any other way to achieve per user call forward restriction other than to create multiple voice policies ? MSPL may be ?  
    2. Is there a limit in the number of entries you can have on the Route pattern matching regex expression ?
    Please advise. MANY THANKS.

    1) I think multiple policies may be your best bet, though it's not a fun one to manage, I agree.  MSPL could do it, but it would be more complex to maintain in the end.  Even gateways have limitations on routes.
    2) I'm not aware of a limit, though I'm not saying there's isn't one.  But if you hit it, you could move to a second usage/route combo.
    I'd suggest building out some PowerShell usage/route creation/organization script for this so it's not something that would need to be maintained within the GUI.

  • Ringing duration before call forwarding

    I have a skype number with a paid subscription. I use a skype phone on my home network to receive business calls on. In the previous skype UI I set the ringing duration to 25 seconds before the call would forward to my mobile number. It works really well for me when I'm out and about. However I want to change the ringing duration before diversion to 15 seconds. On the new Skype UI this option has disappeared (or at least I can't find it anywhere!?) Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi, k1092, and welcome to the Community,
    Remember, the setting is not for the number of rings before the incoming fall is forwarded, but the amount of time.  In the Windows version of the Skype software, Tools -> Options -> Calls -> Call Forwarding -> Call Forwarding Options.  Remember to Save any changes you make to your settings.
    You may first need to check the timing on how long the number of times the incoming call chime sounds (rings).
    Best regards,

  • Call forwarding conditional

    when i try to ring on my phone this message appears on my phone, i cant hear no ring tone and cant hear when im connected,it comes up as call forwarding conditional,,,, how do i get this off and be able to call people on my phone .....
    thanks

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    You can't make outgoing calls? That is odd.
    First thing to try is a batt-pop reboot.With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation.
    If that does not work, then I'd suggest you contact my carrier and have them look into it.
    Cheers!

  • 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.+
    http://support.vzw.com/features/callingfeatures/callforwarding.html

    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.

  • Remote call forwarding

    I left my office today without forwarding my phone, I read that I can forward from the xifinity web page but the instructions are asking me to click on a tab that doesn't exist on the page I was directed to.  Any suggestions?
