Can't set up call forwarding?

I want to set up call forwarding when busy. On the call forwarding set up page, the space under "Mobile Number" is blank, there's nothing there for me to enter or select my number (I am logged into my account at the time). I can fill in the other options, but that first one is just not there. When I submit, it just keeps asking me to select a mobile number, yet not giving me any option to actually enter one. Is that feature not available on prepaids, or is it something else?

Call forwarding may not be available on prepaid. If it is, call forwarding is initiated from your device by dialing *72 and the area code and phone number you want to forward to then pressing send. It seems that if you are unavailable, simply powering off your device will solve the issue as being powered off will send calls straight to voicemail.

I know I can get call forwarding by dialing *72, but there's no option for call forward ON BUSY that way. I'm not trying to get all calls forwarded.

This is what voicemail is for. Turn your phone to silent or off when you can't answer.

Don't be rude. Don't presume to know what I need for what. You, in fact, do not know, thank you very much. If you can't offer any help in getting "forward on busy" to work, then I don't need any further comments from you.
