How do you use conditional call forwarding on AT&T?

I was wondering if it is still possible to use conditional call forwarding with the iPhone on AT&T?

Specifically I'd like to forward ONLY unanswered calls, as well as rejected calls.

I've found some resources that say it is possible: http://goo.gl/hvr0g However I'd like to find this information directly on AT&T's website for an official response.

I've contacted an AT&T store, but per my expectation, they didn't really know what they were talking about.

iPhone 4, iOS 5.0.1

I'm on Verizon and for questions pertaining to the Verizon service of my iPhone 4s, I go to the Verizon wireless site; they have a forum for various cell phone models, iPhone 4s being one of them. Try looking around the at&t site to see if there's a forum as well. Your question may find an answer there.

I tried calling them, and after 20 minutes of them NOT KNOWING what they were doing, they ended up accidentally hanging up on me. I don't have time for their incompetence, which is why I brought my question here, where I thought I might find someone who can give me a straightforward answer.

I google'd this question before asking in here. I found plenty of things to try, but I posted here to see if anyone had a definitive answer, who has done this before or does this on a regular basis.

I just used it and it works. I now have call forwarding for ONLY unanswered and unavailable calls. Unfortunately, the 'unanswered' forwarding is superseded by call rejection, so if you double-tap the sleep button to quickly reject the call then it won't be forwarded, so get used to only pressing the sleep button once, letting the caller hear that nice ringing until the call times out.
