The SS you are looking for is Call forwarding on no reply "CFNRy" (61). Type **61*Number_to_forward_to**45# as phone number and press dial. If you get an error bring the 45 down to 30, since the allow max time is network dependent. Since *# is not working you need to put the SIM into another phone, run the above and change back to the N900..... hope it'll work out.

https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5380#c4 which was very clearly including SS (in the summary) was closed as a duplicate of 5357, which in turn was assumed to be only for USSD. So the only way is to revive 5380 and probably mark 5357 as a duplicate see comment 42 for interpretation https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5357#c42

Thus for the developers looking at the second bug report they will close it as duplicate, cause for them it's one problem, sending codes that start with * and end with a # over SDCCH, regardless whether it was structured or unstructured.

I hope you agree with me here

I just really want to set my diverts and use my phone book entries with CLI codes .... keep fingers crossed
