Thread: Is Sprint removing call forwarding charges?

cool I'll try it and see if it works. I missed that in the GV setup yesterday and CS said they usually list a deactvation code but did not see any for this. I just tried it and I got the double beep just like when it was activated, that must be it. Thanks for the tip.

Sometimes when I access voicemails via my device the system will say it is from an unknown caller even when I have put in the contacts information online. Maybe its an area that Google needs to work on or is currently working...

Very simple. Once signed up just go to your dialer and enter *288132000200 then hit send. You will hear 2 sets of beeps and the conditional callforwarding is set up. Install the app and you should be good to go. Remember that *28 is...

Does the charge show up under usage? Quote: Originally Posted by KingCoop I am no longer being charged the $0.20 per minute. I was being charged for it up until Saturday and all of a sudden no more charges on my usage. I tested it by having multiple friends call and leave voicemails and no charges.

Sprint has removed those pesky per minute call forwarding charges and no longer requires technical support to enable call forwarding. Hurray! Now, Sprint customers can use YouMail as their mobile voicemail and get these great benefits. • See a list of...
