One of the limitation of the iPhone software is the lack of real call forwarding controls. The iPhone only has one call forwarding option: “forward all calls” and you cannot set call forwarding if busy or if not answered.
Call forwarding commands are standard so you can perform these codes easily. Just dial the following numbers to enable call forwarding:
If Busy
This occurs when you are in a call and have call waiting disabled or when you are receiving a call or making a call yourself.
Dial the following number: *67*[phone number]# to enable call forwarding if busy. To check the status dial: *#67#. To cancel dial: #67#.
If not answered
It occurs when no one answers the phone for 30 seconds (default value as I remember). It is like forwarding to a voicemail number.
To enable: *61*[phone number]#. To check status: *#61#. To cancel: #61#.
If out of reach
Occurs when the phone is off or not available on the cell network.
To enable this dial: *62*[phone number]#. To check the status: *#62#. To cancel dial: #62#.
Forward all calls
This is the standard call forwarding option available in the iPhone menus. To enable: *21*[phone number]#. To check the status: *#21#. To cancel dial: #21#.

Thanks! That works great. Does anyone know how to change the default time from 30 seconds to something else?

Finally!! I never thought of this trick!
thanks man. u just made my day!
@Aatish,, what 30 seconds are you talking about?
he meant the timeout for not answered.
You can set the phone to forward the calls when line is busy and then make a third party app kill the incoming call after a set period of time. (eg. after 10 seconds or so).
Of course you’ll need to find the app that does that :S
Hey there, I found this on another website and it works.Â
*61*(phone number)*11*(time in seconds) # call button
Time in seconds can be 5-10-15-20-25-30.
thanks deactivated everything
