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

velorapide · 07-03-2007, 09:49 PM

I get this message every time I place a call even if call forwarding is not activated on my phone. I just click "Dismiss" and the call continues on and everything is fine. My sister has an iPhone and gets the same message every time she places a call too.

Help! This is super annoying and I would like to have it resolved. Thanks for your help!

the exact same thing happens to me. i originally thought it was happening because att didn't have call waiting activated on my account. i called last night and they activated the feature but i still get that message both when i place and receive calls. hmmmm

Me too! I have also called tech support and have no answers yet? I would love to fix this issue. I'll keep you posted if you'll do the same. Any new developments on this issue?

dittos here. I akased about it on here several days ago and never saw an answer. Glad you brought it up again. Its minor but getting quite annoying. Have turned Call FWD off and on several times and it makes no difference. And its another thing to ahve to hit while driving. Driving is perhaps my biggest problemo thus far -- seems to take more tabs to make a c all and more screen attention as the touch screen is so hair trigger. This "dismiss' is just another thing. not sure why but sometimes it goes away on its own.

You actually don't need to hit dismiss. It will go away on its own. Unless you have miss dialed and need to end a call right away.

I have also noticed while testing this out and making calls to and from my iPhone and Office number that it takes about five rings from my office phone before my iPhone started ringing. And from my iPhone about 2-3 rings before my office will ring. I have stared asking people how many times it rang before I had picked up and the usual answer is about 3-4 rings, but I only hear it ring 1-2 times before I answer. Why such a long delay? Could these problems be related?

I have noticd it going away sometimes but your miss dial point is exactly my problemo particularly when driving. With the hair trigger response of the screen, I am miss tapping often when driving as I find this phone much more difficult to use while driving. Have to look at screen much more and aim carefully to hit selection i want, and then when screw up, can't quickly hangup cause of the bothersome call forwarding has to be done away with.

Driving home from trip today I did find a little bit of a help however as I found that when you tap a contact selction in Favorites or recents and hold your finger down on it it will not activate and you can see if you've hit a wrong one. If so just slide your finger off that selection and you'll get no selection and can start over. This has helped a bunch while driving and even sitting still as I keep calling people accidentally. But with respect to the second part of your post, I'm not getting allot of complaints and it might be because of the delayed rings you discovered.

i really don't like this message. i have had my iphone since Friday and this morning (Monday) was the first time I noticed it.

Please help me get rid of it!

Thanks for dredging this thread up as I stilll have no answer and its still aggravating. Have found nothing to turn it off. I have found if you ignore it goes away most of the time, but if you're in a hury to tap another choice like to enter a code, you still ahve to dismiss it first.
