  You are so right Steve! What's with Apple not having call forward busy, no answer and out of range diversions as well?

  If there was a way to auto call forward when charging, that would be great.

  Thanks for posting this article. Unfortunately I have to disagree! I have owned dozens of SonyEricsson phones and I think they do the job much better. It seems that when you turn on forwarding, everything is forwarded, but what about forwarding "when busy", "When out of reach" etc.
  
  I think that the iPhone does everything - and I love it - but call forwarding is not one of the best features (Or I am too stupid to figure it out)

  Yeah, great but it should really be a one or two click process - not five! Also, there is no indication that your phone is currently forwarding calls. Other phones (SE) have a little icon that appears in the status bar. iPhone fails in the call forwarding dept. IMHO.

  Opinions aside on whether this is the best Call Forwarding is neither here nor there. I appreciate the post because you clearly outlined what I needed to do. THANK YOU!

  I need to forward only certain incoming numbers not everything. That would be cool. Is there a third party app that would allow this?

  I agree, we need a faster short cut or method to turn forward on or off. A speed dial is faster the the current set up.

  Far too basic, I contiually forget to swicth this feature off, plesae apple or any third parties please give us some software that would make this very usefuk feature more user frindly. I agrre with a alot of comments , we often only want to forward calls when say out of range, busy or even better still say timed, so that we set what time we want this feature turned off or on and alos give us an option to put more than one number in the call forwading screen and we can then choose which number we want to forward to at what time etc.

  My previous 2 simple / free LG branded phones had better call forwarding capabilities. The oldest phone was made over 5 years ago....
  
  2 things I find missing from the iPhone's call forwarding capabilities:
  
  1) With iPhone - I cannot select a number from my contact list call me lazy but LG had it. 5 years ago.
  2) Only option is to Forward all calls, I cannot select to forward only when busy, No Answer or Not Available. again this feature has been around for a long time on simpler phones...
