Conditional Call Fordwarding?

LadyDee

Hi, this message pops up each time I make a call from my Android phone (on O2).

I must have somehow turned this on but I can't for the life of me find where to turn it off!

Please can somebody tell me what it means, whether it's important, and how to turn if off - please?

Also my phone only rings a couple of times before it cuts out - I never have time to actually answer a call.

For both these things I've been through everything I can find under 'Settings' but can't see anything.

My phone (a Cubot S208) has Android version 4.2.2.

TIA

You can change the number of rings, but the way in which it is done varies between mobile providers, this may help:

Thank you, for both your suggestions. I can't find "Call Settings" on my phone. It doesn't appear anywhere under Settings.

The number of rings is network specific so as you are on O2 follow these ...

Dial the following:
**61*901*11*30#[send]
where 30 is the max time in seconds. You can set it to either 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 seconds


Or turn voicemail off if you don't want it

Thank you - that's the easy bit done.

I've been through everything on the phone but still can't find "Call Settings" to deal with the call forwarding message though. That message never used to be there, so I must have somehow changed something somewhere.

Not sure why you want to do to call settings though ???


The call forwarding message will come on to show you have voicemail working or forwarding to another number etc

It's an advisory comment that you have call diversion enabled, for if someone calls you while you are making an outgoing call.

The usual call diversion is to voicemail, and this is free, so you could just ignore the pop-up.

If your phone is diverted to any other number, then diverted calls will be chargeable, either using minutes in a bundle if applicable, or at whatever the tariff is.

Thing is I have only had this popping up the last few days and I haven't got another number set up. In any event, it is very frustrating that if I should really need to change something in call settings I don't know where it is.

If calls are being diverted I'd like to check where there being diverted to.

You'll find call settings in the dialler somewhere.
