How fucking stupid is that? Sorry, but not having a good morning. This is like when I found out you can’t set the number of rings either. Sometimes I just want to smash all my tech and go back to rocks, sticks, and leaves.

      Back in the day (ow my back) carriers let you control how calls are diverted by dialling one of those * 123*12345# type numbers.

      • They’ll probably still work. I believe they still form the basis of how the Android settings screen can control carrier settings, though the number of settings available seem to have gone down over the years.

        They still work. I use them for routing my voicemail to the Jolly Rodger Telephone Company.

        It’s *61 in this instance.

        The full command is

        61#

        you can get by typing the command *#61#

        is a number between 5 and 30 in five second increments
