LYJ/Puff,
Checked the settings recommended and got the message "forward if no reply is
disabled". Interestingly, I used other service provider's SIM in my XDA and
it worked fine. So I inserted my SIM in a Nokia hand set and the problem
persisted. So the problem lies in SIM and not in XDA.
When I looked at the phone setting-->services--->call forwarding--->get
settings ---> it went to read the network settings from service provider and
showed me "forward phone calls only if unavailable" to some no. which I
think is a service provider no. Since I tried uncheckin the box and it tried
writing the setting to service provider and it failed.
Anywayz, I'll call my service provider i.e. AT&T and will get this SIM
setting rectified.
Thanks for all the help extended. Really appreciate it. This is my first
communication at this place and looks like an interesting place!
Cheers
Tushar
