How do I restore missing call forwarding options in iPhone 12 settings?

Please read carefully because I do not have the option to call forward. It has been deleted so I purchased an iPhone 12 after my iPhone SE was hacked for a long time. I got a new phone number new email new SIM card new everything. Within 24 hours my new service had been transferred back to my hacked phone so I had to call straight talk and after two hours of going back-and-forth with them they finally gave me a whole new completely different number and transferred the service to the correct phone when I woke up the next morning my new phone the 12, had how to call forward screen on it, but it disappeared before I could take a look at it. So I followed everything I researched and went to my phone settings and lo and behold. My call forwarding and a few other features are no longer even listed as an option. Is there a way for me to reinstall the call forwarding option and the ones that are missing I thought about trying to uninstall the phone app and reinstall it, but it won’t let me do that either I know for a fact, my calls and messages are going to someone else. Whoever has done this did it also to my government phone, which is now missing as well. Does anyone know how to un forward calls without that option in my phone settings or does anyone know how to get those options back for call forwarding please advise because I am losing my mind over this. It’s an ongoing every day thing. I just need someone to help me!!! Please!!!

Sorry that is one big run on paragraph, making it hard to read and I didn't finish it.

Call forwarding is a phone carrier feature, report the issue to your carrier.

Sorry speech to text so there was no punctuation. I called Staight Talk and they said they had nothing to do with it nor could they help me even though I keep being told to contact them, they’re not help! The thing is I had them missing option and someone went in and deleted it, like it doesn’t even show call forwarding or some other features and they were there prior, now they’re gone
