I activated Call Forwarding on my phone. Why are people getting a busy tone when calling me?
Be sure that the call was forwarded correctly using *72 + the forwarding phone number including the area code. Sometimes additional buttons are accidentally pressed while setting up call forwarding. If that happens, then the number is not recognized. Please note that calls CANNOT be forwarded to international numbers.
