It is not a bug in the N900. Thanks for the insight! So changing the forwarding setting is only supposed to work via the settings app? Why can't I enter the GSM command in the phone app manually and see the network reply myself instead of having to reopen the phone settings and see that my will is being ignored? ;) I did some testing now: 0: Turned off forwarding using the 3510i, no testing here 1: Back into N900, is not available when I call it from landline (the sound that you hear when the person you are calling already talks to someone). 2: Switched the SIM into the 3510i. Calling works, mobile box is turned off. 3: Back into N900. Rings correctly now, forwarding is turned off. - BUT the phone settings app still claims that forwarding is enabled. I didn't press save but discarded the dialog, forwarding is still off. 3.1: Reopened phone settings, shows forwarding as enabled. Pressed save without changing anything, it's still off. 3.2: Reopened phone settings, explicitly disabled forwarding. Now it behaved like in the 1st try, on the second call it rings and forwarding is still off. It seems like phone settings is doing something strange there.
