Let's look at an example string from below:
*21*Number[*Type]#
There are two parts to this string: the required part (in red), and the optional part (in blue). In this particular example, "*21*Number" and the "#" are all required. The "*Type", because it is in [brackets], is optional. The "Type" is usually optional, and the different service types are listed below.
Where the word "Number" appears, substitute the desired phone number.
The resulting string, if I wanted to forward all voice calls to 1-800-555-4141 would be: *21*18005554141*11#
After dialing a command string, press the "Talk" or "Send" key on your phone.
Forwards all calls unconditionally. Optional service is required.
