http://www.yashy.com/star.codes.html

How to Get It

Call Forwarding is an included feature that is typically added to your account when you first activate service. If you wish to confirm you have this feature, login to My Account and select "My Plan" and then select "Add/change features".

How to Use It

To Activate:

Press *72.

Enter the phone number where you want calls to be forwarded. (e.g. *72-908-123-4567).

Press SEND and wait for confirmation. You should hear a confirmation tone or a message.

Press END.

To Deactivate:

Press *73.

Press SEND and wait for confirmation. You should hear a confirmation tone or a message.  

Press END.

Answer 2

If you dial  "00" and wait for the ATT operator.

They will transfer you to a pre-recorded message that expalins it.  

I usually don't like listening to those things but it provides a good explanation.

Best wishes,

Answer 3

You punch in the code to activate it (I believe *72), punch in the number you want your calls forwarded to, and any call that you would receive at that number will ring at the other number instead (as if the person called the other number). You can still make outgoing calls from that original phone, but you won't receive any calls at that phone while the forwarding is on.

When you're done, you punch in another code (*73, if I recall) on the original phone to deactivate it.
