Call forwarding - Samsung Galaxy J Questions & Answers

Hello,
Recently I received brand new Samsung Galaxy J6 from my company.
Since I use this phone only for sms & internet, I configured call fowarding to my other number.
Problem is that call forwarding only works when phone is in airplane mode or turned off. When the phone is connected to gsm, redirection is on and someone calls the number they receive a message "The number you're calling doesn't exist". When I switch on airplane mode then call forwarding works as expected.
I'm using the newest software version avaialble and tried to configure call forwarding either via menu or via codes - result is the same.
Just to confirm the problem is not with the SIM card, I put it in my old nokia lumia - there call forwarding works as expected, tried also with samsung galaxy s5 - it also works fine.
According to my company's IT department they're aware of it, and it is present on all samsung phones from J series.
Did anyone encounter similar issue and knows how to resolve it? I guess it shouldn't be normal behaviour that you have to turn on airplane mode or switch off the phone for call forwarding to work.
Thanks

Call Forwarding - Unexpected response from network error

When I update my voicemail settings, or call forwarding, I get a "Unexpected response fron network" error message. I called my provider (Rogers) and said it appears to be correct on their system... However, it doesn't seem so because when people call me, they get forwarded to Google Voice... I already uninstalled Google Voice, and it was taken out already, however, it still forwards to there which is a USA number and I'm in Canada, so people who call me get forwarded to a long distance number and it bothers me and them so much...
Rogers told me to contact HTC but I want to hear your solutions first guys... BTW, I'm using the Virtuous ROM (which is almost entirely stock packages)
Help?

"Try sending ##21# which is the network code to cancel all forwarding."
Call Forwarding Problem
I have an unlocked AT&T Atrix on Orange UK running Gingerbread. As soon as you go and look at the Call Forwarding options the phone indicates that all calls are Forwarded and the Icon top left turns on, disabling 'Foward All' shows disabled for a few seconds then comes back with the 'Unexpected reponse from network' message, although calls are not actually Forwarded (can still receive calls). Old SIM card, but OK in old V3x phone. I tried with a '3' Network SIM and all works as expected, so definitely an Orange problem with Android/Atrix. I called Orange who sent some SIM updates one of which failed, called them again and they decided to send me a new SIM but this has made no difference at all.
Only way to reset the indicator and message once on, is to enter ##21# which does the job.
Just an annoying Network bug but interested if anyone knows how to get Orange (and I guess T-Mobile) to do anything about this as it seems from other research to affect several different phone makes and models.
Same issue
I'm Having the same issue on Rogers with my Xperia ion....still ahven't sorted it out
Any Resolution to this issue? I have what appears to be an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S7 Active from ATT and attempting to use my CRICKET SIM and I get this message.

[Q] Call Forwarding help on Android FRX07.1

I'm running Android FXR07.1 on my HTC TP2 on the ATT GSM network. I was toying with some ideas about how best to use Google Voice. I went into the GSM call settings page and then into Call Forwarding. I tried to set Always Forward to my google voice #. Instead of putting my number there, it only showed a block character. Not only is the forwarding not working, but also I cannot now unforward my calls. When I try to disable, I get this message:
Call settings error.
"Your carrier does not support disabling call-forwarding when your phone is unreachable"​
Any ideas on how to get this issue fixed?
I don't really have a clean solution.
But if your phone is out of network due to a bug, why don't you just restart on Winmo to reverse the situation?
It should work, as the call forwarding is an operator setting, no matter where you want to forward.
Thanks for the suggestion. I was able to resolve this. I actually found something online that was a code to disable all call forwarding. I can't find it now, but I think it was ##0040#...or something very similar. It still did nothing. Then I booted to WinMo and couldn't even find a cal forwarding option. I booted into the FRX07 build that I also had on my SD card and it still showed forwarding there. But in FRX07 I was able to disable the settings properly. Once I did that, I booted back into FRX07.1 and it was properly disabled there too.

Call Forward not working (AT&T)

Anyone having an issue with call forwarding not being able to be set up? I use youmail for voicemail and today I went to set it up on my 5X, It couldn't forward the calls. When I went into the call settings to try to manually enter the code I get an error. It will not allow me to forward. Anyone else have this issue?
The exact message I get is:
"Call settings error
Unexpected response from network"
Opps meant to post this in Q&A. I reported to the mods to move
Bump on this.
Using a Nexus 5X trying to setup call forwarding, and I get the same error when configuring it from the phone application, and "Call Forwarding, Connection problem or invalid MMI code" when using the MMI code. Same thing happens when I try to configure it using a Nexus 6 running Marshmallow.
Tested fine on an AT&T branded HTC A9 running marshmallow though, so it seems to only affect the Vanilla flavor of the OS.
I had to call AT&T and have them manually do it but it's still not working correctly. If I dont answer the call it goes to my AT&T voicemail but if I reject the call it goes to youmail even though in call settings it's all set to youmail. I'm going to call AT&T tomorrow and try to figure it out.

I had the same issue. I had to call them and they made changes to the hd and standard voice call forwarding sections and that fixed it.

So after a call to them and mentioning this and telling them with no answer it was still going to my AT&T VM she checked and sure enough it wasn't provisioned correctly. Now everything works as it should
After reading this I called AT&T and passed on the information. She told me that I was provisioned correctly and entered my IMEI in their system. Still can't get HD Voice or Call Forwarding working. Any other tips that may help??

I had the same issue, even got my nano-sim swapped again. Turned out it was the HD Voice feature. N5X supports HDV, AT&T provisioned it correctly but this feature causes communication failure to AT&T network when try to change/update call forwarding. The ATT tech guy disabled HD Voice on my account, I can now change/update the forwarding numbers again. The fix might be temporary though, ATT regularly does network sweep and it might just automatically turn on HDV feature again when it detects your phone supports it. A permanent solution would be for Google to add an option to manually disable HDV on the phone in the next update.
Sorry for the 2-year old thread bump, but I have a relevant update...
It now appears that the stock dialer can properly provision the call forwarding settings on AT&T. Settings --> calls ---> call forwarding ---> update busy/unanswered/unreachable. I reached out to AT&T support after changing and they confirmed it was properly set on their end. Though, FWIW, I previously had AT&T set the forwarding settings, but had to pull the SIM to test an iPhone. It seems to have reset the forwarding settings, which is why I had to mess with this again in the first place...

Galaxy TAB S4 call and message continuity for outbound calls

I have a Galaxy S10+ and Tab S4 Wifi (both US models unlocked). I have the call and message continuity feature enabled on both devices.
Regarding calls, Incoming calls work perfectly fine.
When I make an outbound call from the tablet, the call gets dialed out successfully from the phone but the audio shifts to phone and no longer stays on the tablet. So, I can only dial the number out on the tablet, but I have to use the phone to talk. Is this behavior expected (or) a software bug?
Both devices are running the latest patches.
Thanks!

Question Calling Some Numbers Results in Immediate "Call Ended" - Other Numbers Work Fine?

Hi there
Wondering if someone could help me with this.
I recently purchased a Poco F3. Transferred all data from my Galaxy Note 9.
Everything has been going well other than this.
Certain contacts, when I call them result in an almost immediate "Call Ended" message (and that call ended tone sound).
It's as if the phone doesn't even initiate the call it happens so quick. The person I am calling doesn't get any call. No matter how many times I try calling the number, the same problem occurs. They can call me, I can never call them.
It's only happening with some numbers, others work fine?
I am unsure how to diagnose or fix this - I'm running MIUI Global 12.5.1 on SMARTY Network in the UK. I've naturally restarted the phone numerous times, tried airplane mode off and on, removed the SIM etc.
