Call Forwarding [solved] - Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am not seeing the obvious. How do I call forward with my ERIS? I do not see it as an option under settings.....
Answer
Can't you just dial *72, then the forwarding number, and press send? (*73 send to undo that.)

Thanks! I thought this phone would be like my TP2 where you could go to the phone settings and do it on the phone.

How can i set up voicemail on Htc hero ..? Guys please help me .. Thanks in advance..
Do you mean add your voicemail number to the phone? main menu, settings, call, voicemail service, select my carrier, then goto voicemail settings and change the vm number.
to get the number you need to add enter and press the send button
*#61#
How ever if you are talking about provisioning a mail box number on the mailbox server then speak to your cell provider.

[Q] How to get back to ATT voice-mail after uninstalling GVoice

How to get back to ATT voice-mail after uninstalling GVoice?
I went to https://www.google.com/voice/b/0#phones and deactivated my Gvoice account. But then what should I do next?
I believe my voice-mail is still forwarded to GVoice somehow. I tried and left a voice-mail on mail phone, the notification bar indicated that I had 1 voice-mail, but I cannot listen to it. When I dialed 1 on the phone, it went to 804-214-6647, and said that I had no voice-mail.
I believe you have to go to Settings > Call > Voicemail service and select My Carrier.
under GVoice settings for deactivating Voicemail it says:
1) Enter the following exactly as written, as if you are dialing someone:
##004#
2) Press "Send" or "Call" on your phone to dial that number. When you see the confirmation message on your phone, you are done!
I did all that before I posted here. My problem is that my phone keeps dialing the Google Voice number instead of my ATT voicemail number. Can anyone provide me the ATT voicemail number please?
You should be able to access att voicemail if you call yourself. Make sure the call forward settings are not still set on the gvoice settings.
I think the VM dial in and forward numbers are regional. If you call att they should be able to provide the number. When my wife went from the captivate to an iPhone all the forward settings are not there on the iPhone. Att was able to reset all the settings from the network side.

The call in number is your cell number.
I had to call a CSR and have them reset it for me. A little bit of a pain but it is what it is.
Hope its OK I add a somewhat related question. In my dumb attempt to get visual VM back (from SR), I installed At&t Messages. Yeah no bueno. I've removed the app but my VM is still the hybrid setup with their crappy service. Will I need to call in and have them undo this mess?

Try dialing ##004# then hit send. That should reset everything.

No its not. The ATT voicemail number is a different number. Your own number gets you into your voice mail box, but that is not giving you access to your voice mail features. Been there just this week! Since this number is not always the same between locations, I suggest you call ATT, tell them that google voice mail hijacked you, and they will give you your specific voice mail number. If that does not help, send me a message.
FIXED. I called ATT and asked the voicemail number that was programmed on my device and it worked. Calling myself also worked though.

Appreciate the response but this didn't do anything for me. On call #3 with AT&T to get this god awful app and whatever it did reversed.
thank you!
this helped me reset my voicemail after un installing the ATT messages app (worst app ever) ( i used the ## way)

[Q] How to setup Call Forwarding on your Thunderbolt?

UPDATE:
I figured it out:
I have to enter *72 and the number to forward THEN press "Send"..
My bad.. Mod, you can delete this thread if you want to..
I have HTC Thunderbolt with Verizon and I do have a "Call Forwarding" feature on my phone. According to Verizon, all I need to do is the steps listed below to complete the Call Forwarding.
However, when I dialed *72, the message stated that "...this feature cannot be updated"
Anyone experiences the same error or have insight on how to do call forwarding? I am wondering if this is a setting in Android or something.
To Activate:
Press *72.
Enter the phone number where you want calls to be forwarded. (e.g. *72-908-123-4567).
Press SEND and wait for confirmation. You should hear a confirmation tone or a message.
Press END.
To Deactivate:
Press *73.
Press SEND and wait for confirmation. You should hear a confirmation tone or a message.
Press END.

[Q]Return to Dialer After Call?

Is there a way to return to the dial pad after you end a call? I hate the screen that pops up that asks whether you want to call or message the same person you just finished talking to. Thanks in advance!

I just posted on AC about this also. I think it because I have google voice set up. I just set up google voice on the phone also so now I thinks its all working now. I was able to test call forwarding and was able to get it to work after setting up google voice.
