[N900] USSD for All and Vodafone do not work (Forwarding a call)
 

I have a german Vodafone Card. The Vodafone documentation says, with

**21*number#

I can set up a call forwarding. When I try this code with "USSD for All", I get this Information: "Error: Timeout. Modem didn't reply".

I get this message for every code, I try (for example "Status check" and so on).

Any idea?

Yes, forget about USSD for all, I also could not get it working.

I just released a package (sim-switcher, not yet in repos), where I use automatic script-based call forwarding.
Sth like that:
See the phone control wiki for more details. Or come back here ...

Thanks. When I understand it right, your posted string could work with Vodafone? Because I do not see that special Vodafone code (**21*number#) inside your string.

When it should work, is it possible to put this string in a Widget?

And is this the string, to cancel the activated forwarding?

Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
:)


My posted code(s) will work with every GSM network (especially tested with VF DE ;)).

Just put it into DCE or Beacon or desktop.

And the above code will deactivate the call forwarding for unconditonal forwarding (all calls). Be careful to not mix that with other forwardings (will not work).

The wiki has all condition codes (GSM **21*... is dbus 1 is unconditional).

Okay :) Here are two different strings for "Forward all ('unconditional') calls". Two questions:

1. Which one I shall use?

2. Inside the strings are " before and after the number. Do the " have to be used inside the string?

I think the problem is these codes for diverting calls, etc. are not actually USSD queries.

It would be nice if USSD for All could recognize them and make the appropriate Dbus calls.

@acurus_
First:
it doesnt' matter, both do the same. Where I see the '1' as more official, even there is no documentation, just testing.
Second:
Yes, the "" are needed.

@gings
These diverting codes are standard GSM codes.
Where as USSD codes are supplementary, aiui.

And my assumption about 'USSD for all' not working is PR1.3 and starhash-enabler replacing this functionality. Just a guess, but I did a lot of testing with USSD for all and hex-editing and so, but to no avail.

Thanks again. Now I will try that monster BeeCon for using the strings. But that is another story ....

It is working!!!!! I have set up two buttons with BeeCon. The fist one is forwarding every call to another telephone number:

The second one stopps the forwarding:
