Call Merge and Call Hold Features Are Disabled I encountered an odd issue while upgrading from an iPhone 12 to iPhone 15 Pro Max. I successfully transferred all data from my old iPhone 12 to the new iPhone 15 in order to set it up. I also fully wiped the iPhone 12 and traded it in to AT&T for the rebate. Both of this upgrade practices are fairly normal and is what I also did when I received the iPhone 12 year ago... however this time, "merge calls" and the ability to place a call on hold were both disabled in the user interface. I found similar posts and they were either closed due to inactivity or had a simple cut-and-paste solution with no follow-up regarding whether or not the issue was fixed. - My iPhone cannot merge calls - Apple Community - I can't merge calls anymore - Apple Community - how to merge calls on iphone 12 - Apple Community - merge calls on iphone 12pro - Apple Community - can't merge calls on my iphone11 pro max - Apple Community Apple recommended resetting network connections, remove all VPN apps, disable DND & focus mode. No effect. AT&T requested that I disable call forwarding, but I'm not sure why it would have any impact considering I usually merge by performing multiple outbound calls originating from my phone. (AT&T also attempted to do some remote assistance, but their support server failed and only returned 500 errors when attempting to open the webpage.) Over the course of a week of going back and forth, AT&T blamed Apple while Apple blamed AT&T. Both companies performed extensive tests, made modifications to my configuration & disabled features while the merge/hold features were still disabled. https://twitter.com/gamesover/status/1714295817237082133 https://twitter.com/gamesover/status/1715033801142001774 Has anyone been able to determine why this may be happening? I think I may have it figured out and will be meeting up with an Apple specialist & AT&T tomorrow to discuss further. If successful, I'll post the solution here. #fingersCrossed

It means that you can’t turn off Call Forwarding, probably because your carrier doesn’t support that switch. Or, if it really is a 5C, which cannot make calls on any network since 2023, it cannot connect to the carrier’s network to request setting deactivation. You can call the carrier, but but that will still not allow you to make calls using a 5C.
