Call Forwarding / If No Reply +18056377243

Just noticed this on my 8900 as well as 8320:

In the Phone Options under Call Forwarding, "If Busy" and "If Not Reachable" are set to +18056377249, but "If No Reply" is set to a slightly different number; +18056377243.

Is it supposed to be like that?

It's supposed to be like that. That is the T-Mobile messaging system.

It's supposed to be a *different* number in the "No Reply" field? I'm just checking. I figured it might have been something I did that caused the discrepancy.

You've changed it.............they should all be the same number which is

+1 805 MESSAGE

+1 805 637-7243

HAH! All three of mine are set to +18056377249 whatever that spells. I know I've never changed it, I've only been with TMo for 8 months.

I think I've got the mystery figured out now...

I'm guessing that tmobile used to use the 7243 number for everything (i.e., voicemail retrieval as well as all "call diversion" settings. That number still works for all those things, but I'm guessing tmobile recently changed their default settings such that 7243 is used for voicemail retrieval, whereas 7249 is used for call diversion.

The reason my phone got set to something other than default was because I had used a tip I found online somewhere to maximize the number of rings before an unanswered call goes to voicemail. The command I used was this:

**61*18056377243**30#

It works great, but it changed my "If No Reply" to the 7243 number. No harm done, as it seems to work fine, but it just caused me some confusion when looking at it.

Just in case it matters, I set my call diversion numbers back to default with this command:

##004#

...and then put back the extra-long (30 second) no-answer diversion delay with this (using the 7249 number):

**61*18056377249**30#

+18056377243 this is the number that connects to the VM server so if you don't answer it fwds to that number.

you can change this if you want to
