    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.

    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.
