Is this an old message that got resurrected? The FastForward device
came out in October alright--of 2003. This is NOT a "new" feature.

Certainly not true. They had conditional call forward (now called
"forward when not able to take calls" on GSM) on TDMA and I believe even
AMPS had it. I think there's even some more options available using GSM
function codes.

Actually the cradle is *not* required to add unlimited CF to an account.
People do it all the time. The cradle just makes it a bit easier.

I figured this one out a while ago. It is reason #364 that Cingular is
run by the Satan.
