Placing a call: I get "Call Forwarding Active" Message

[louques]

It only happens to me when it goes to voicemail for a NEXTEL customer, because nextel voicemail is rerouted to another phone number where your voicemail is stored. Hope this helps

I only get the message someitmes, actually it works correctly on mine, what it is telling you is that your outgoing call is being forwarded to another number, for example if your making a call and no one answers technicaly the call is forwarded to voicemail the phone detects that the call your making is being forwarded and it is letting you know.

I had another phone that did this as well notify me if my calls were being forwarded. my home phone is forwarded directly to my cell all the time, so anyone calling my home phone would see that message everytime they called me.

Now it should only show up with your outgoing call is forwarded, try some different numbers and see, call a number you know is not forwarded or ported over also, and see if the message does not appear. my guess is it some phones may be detecting a port as a call forwarded and it probably shouldn't do that.

sorry David, but that is not the case with this problemo. As soom as I hit the number to call and the screen changes to the dialing screen, the call forwarding message pops up before it has even rung the first time......

as noted above for us having the problem, we've tried turning it on and off in the Settings to no avail and am simply living with it for now

and its on every single outgoing call

The call forwarding setting on your own phone will have no effect, as these are two different things. I have tested my phone and I only get the message when the number I am calling is forwarded, why some of you are having this all the time, I have no idea, but it sesm to be a porblem only on some phones.

Dude, are you guys all really this dense?

It goes to "Call forwarding" until the call connects to a person or a voicemail box. It forwards any incoming calls, that would normally get a busy signal during this part of a normal call, to your voicemail, until your call connects with another person, and call waiting can beep in...

i called 1-800-my-apple about it and they told that i had call forward on (which i didn't) and had tampered with the settings (which i didn't). when i told them that i had simply opened the call forwarding section under settings he suggest that i reboot the phone by holding lock & home... that didn't fix it either

he also said that i get the message most likely because when i'm in a call the phone forwards to my phone number... when i asked him "isn't that like call waiting?" he said "call forwarding and call waiting are two completely different things."

could this just be a problem with the new update? or something? i don't want to talk to some idiot on the phone again

Dude, did you read my post?????


It's NORMAL! It's only on call forwarding till the call connects!!!!! Once it does, take it away from your face and look at it, GONE! Because now nothing is forwarded because call waiting will work...
