7. Call Forwarding Codes
The codes described in this section give you greater
control over call forwarding features in GSM 1900
networks than do the menu items in your phone.
Enter these codes using the keypad on your phone.
In place of the letter N in the codes below, substitute
the number to which you want to forward calls. After
entering the code, press
ó
. Unless stated otherwise,
forwarding affects voice calls only.
Note: These codes might not work identically in
all networks. If you have questions, contact your
wireless service provider.
Call forwarding types
There are six types of call forwarding. For each type,
you can activate call forwarding, request the status
(including the number to which calls are being for-
warded), and cancel call forwarding.
Example:
You want to forward calls to 972-555-1111
when the phone is off or there is no
coverage.
> Enter
--95-<:58884444& then press
ó
.
You just forgot which phone number you
forwarded your calls to.
> Enter
-&95& then press
ó
.
You want to cancel this particular call
forward.
> Enter
&&95& then press
ó
.

Adding a call type
You can specify whether you want call forwarding to
apply only to certain types of calls by adding an aster-
isk (*) and two-digit code before the # in the forwarding
codes listed in the previous table.
Example:
You want to forward fax calls only to
972-555-1111 when your line is busy.
> Enter
--9:-<:58884444-46& then press
ó
.
Forwarding status of different call types
If you have used the same forwarding type for more
than one type of call (for example, forward both data
calls and fax calls when no answer), when you request
a status you can press the scroll keys to see the for-
warding status for each call type. Each type is
displayed on a separate screen.
Adding a timeout
You can specify a timeout during which call forwarding
is not active (i.e., call forwarding does not take effect
until this number of seconds has passed after the
phone receives the call attempt). To do this, add an
asterisk (*) and the time period in seconds to the
codes listed above.
Example:
You want to forward fax calls to
972-555-1111 when your line is busy, but
let 25 seconds pass first.
> Enter
--9:-<:58884444-46-58& then press
ó
.
