How do you call forward on a Verizon iPhone?

I had an ATT iPhone4 running iOS 4.3.3. To set up call forwarding, you would go to Settings, then Phone. For the Verizon iPhone4 (most current iOS is 4.2.8), these options (Call Waiting and Call Forwarding) are not there.


Can anyone direct me?
Thanks

iPhone 4, iOS 4.2.7, iOS 4.2.8... Option not available

You'd best check the veriizon web site, but I think you dial *72+number-to-forward-to then connect the call and you get some confirmation sound (beeps or something), then you disconnect. To cancel it, you do the same thing only the prefix is *73.


Again, this is from memory, so best to check the Verizon web site or call customer care and make sure.

Sincere Thanks for your direction. I am a bit miffed, after switching from ATT to Verizon, that this is a shortcoming of the Verizon implementation. And, because of the lack of Apple-funded information, I can only guess that the iOS 4.3 that is NOT available for the CDMA, is the secret that allows one to turn these features on/off via settings on the phone itself. Also, the Call Waiting from Verizon does not allow one to turn this feature off all the time, like you can with the GSM version...


An implementation detail that's been overlooked? But I digress.


Thanks for the information!
