Call forwarding ios 8

I just upgraded to the iPhone 6 from the iPhone 5s and while all is working well, I can not get call forwarding to turn on no matter how many times I try. This function didn't change, so is it broke? I am using AT&T like I did on the 5s...thoughts?

iPhone 6, iOS 8

Having the same issue.... tried resetting the phone, no luck. On iOS 7 on my 5, when I enabled call forwarding it would make a call to the server to check the forward status. It doesn't appear to do that on my new iPhone 6; when I touch the "Forward to" it displays "Loading..." instead of the number I usually forward to. When I delete that (because it never goes away) and put a number in, I go back to the Call Forwarding screen and the new number I entered is gone. If I leave the Call Forwarding screen and go back, call forwarding is off again. Rinse, repeat try again... same results. 😟

I ended up going through my company to officially upgrade my phone, and they sent me a new iPhone 6. I had the same call forwarding issue with this new phone until I called AT&T and had them activate the new SIM card that came with the new phone. The issue appeared to only occur with my old SIM in the new phone (while it continued to work in the old iPhone 5).


Now that the new SIM is active in the new iPhone 6, call forwarding works as expected. It appears to be something tying the SIM to the phone, so maybe it’s an AT&T issue? Anyway, good to know if someone else thinks it’s just the same using their old SIM in their new iPhone 6 on AT&T’s network.

same problem here with 9.0.2. I'm also unable to activate WiFi calling.


I tried pulling and reinserting the SIM Card, now I get an error message: "Some call forwarding settings could not be changed".


This may be a new AT&T problem...

Suspect I need to go to AT&T store and get a new SIM card. Quite annoying. Alas, only discovered when leaving for Europe so most inconvenient.
