Tmobile Call Forwarding

[ring_the_alarm_2006]

If I forward my incoming calls to my home phone, if service is interrrupted and someone tries to call me will those calls still go to my home phone?

There's several flavors of forwarding. There's unconditional, which is what it sounds like you're asking about. Yes, unconditional forwarding would occur whether or not you had signal or phone turned on.

Among conditional forwarding is "forward if unreachable". That could operate if your phone was off, or in a no signal area. There's also "forward if no answer", you'd have to be in a working coverage area for this to apply.

There's several more, but I don't recall them off hand. The case of when these programmed forwardings would not occur is when the switch your phone number resides in is out of service.

**21+1[area code/number]# e.g. **21+13115552368# or **21+12063549999# to cancel key #21#

And just FYI unconditional forwarding/diverting (which is the equivalent of your keying *72 on your home phone service) takes from your anytime or night/weekend minutes. Conditonal forwarding (codes 61, 62 or 67) takes from your forwarding "bucket" of 500 minutes after which you start to take from your regular minute "bucket."

I entered following line (650-123-4567 - # 2b forwarded to):
**2116501234567#
However, I got "Comand not supported." message. Is this because of mising '+' sign? On my phone '+' sign listed with a number '0'. But, I have no idea how to enter the '+', everytime I hit the button, I am getting zero(s).

I quoted you the wrong sequence. It's **21*+1[area code/number]# e.g. **21*+13118675309# I left out the * after 21. The + is optional though if you keep the + in you will have no problem if you roam internationally.
