I've been a wireless phone user for a long time now and it seems that
wireless companies always included services such as call forwarding with
just about all calling plans.
For example Verizon includes these services:
3-Way Calling
411 Connect®
Basic Voice Mail
Call Forwarding
Call WaitingCaller ID
New Every Two®
No Answer/Transfer
TXT Messaging
ATT gave free call forwarding as well.
I was looking on the cingular page, and call forwarding is not listed as a
service included with your plan. Is it truly the case that you have to pay
for call forwarding with cingular?

Re: Call forwarding not included with cingular plans???
I just signed up with Cingular, and don't have the phone yet, however,
I picked up a brochure at a Cingular store today. It lists:
Basic voicemail
Call forwarding
Call waiting
3-way calling
Caller ID
Detailed billing
Text/Instant messaging (10-cents a message unless you pay extra)
Multimedia messaging (25-cents per message unless you pay extra)
Media net (1-cent per kilobyte unless you pay extra)
This is for GSM National plans. Don't know if it would be different
for regional plans.

Re: Call forwarding not included with cingular plans???
I am sure you "get" (enabled) call forwarding for "free" which each carrier,
but you have to pay per forwarded call, or per forwarded minute. Each
carrier charges differently.
Cingular is 10 cents a minute I believe. Cingular offers as an option, the
fast-forwarding package, that is intended to be use with the included
cradle, but also has unlimited call forwarding for the monthly $2.99(?) fee.
This fee is waived with combined SBC billing.

Re: Call forwarding not included with cingular plans???
I checked the Cingular link. This is new. Wow, that is confusing. It used
to be 10 cents a minute (for GSM at least), plus any long distance, unless
you had 'unlimited call forwarding' which was part of the 'fast forward'
option.
Now you need to call Cingular service, and give them specific scenariors to
get cost.
Cell phone in immediate home area - forwarded to home phone.
Cell phone in immediate home area - forwarded to mobile phone in home
area.
Cell phone in national home area - forwarded to mobile in national home
area.
Cell phone in national home area - forwarded to phone in national home
area.
Cell phone international roaming - forwarded to mobile in national home
area.
(etc)
I currently don't know.
