    When you cancel diversions, Telstra automagically enforce their own upon
    you so callers get diverted to the text message answering service. ie,
    they get told that a text message is being sent to me with their number.

    Anyone have a way of disabling it?

    If I wanted something like that, I'd use Voicemail. The biggest issue I
    have is not only is it forced upon you, but a rediculously short 15
    second delay on "divert no answer" is also forced upon you.

    I've been dealing with Telstra support trying to get it removed and I'd
    probably have more luck hammering a nail into a conrete wall with my
    forehead. That would quite likely be more enjoyable too.

    More enjoyable for you, or the readers of your posts?

    Call front of house 125111 and ask them to remove Default Call
    Forward. It's easier and more effective than just whinging here!
    You can also change the call forward timer yourself, or get front of
    house (125111) to change that for you too.

    You can go upto 30 sec in 5 sec increments. Some handsets set the
    timer with the menu. If not, then send **61*101*30# to divert to 101
    after 30 seconds. RTFM.

    Cheers.

    actually they need to disable the Call Notification Service (CNS)
    Get them to add the product code: CNSDIS2

    www.tio.com.au is your answer, you've exhausted all reasonable avenues of
    complaint within Telstra without success. Let the TIO do the running around
    for you instead of banging your head against a brick wall with 125111
    loonies.

    Not so standard when I can't cancel it. Cancel the diversion and whaddya
    know - theirs stays in there and can't be cancelled.

    Already tried that (four times), as stated in my post.

    Nope, apparently it's not easier or more effective.

    I know how to change a divert and put a delay in. I'm not diverting
    though. The Default Call Forward is enforced upon me after cancelling my
    own diverts. Yes, I suppose I could manually set the same divert with my
    own delay, but I wanted the service gone completely. That was just one
    of the reasons that added to it.

    No need. Contact number 5 was an email that clearly laid out what I was
    after. After another few "It's done!" and "No, it's not..." emails, I
    finally go someone who managed to remove it for me.

    Divert your Telstra mobile to 0418707316. This will do the trick. There's
    no call charge - just a Telstra RVA.

    No, it was clearly his attitude. I hope they terminated the call on him

    His attitude is the same as yours, it appears

    Sure. And he will have his CNS disabled in fourteen days now, instead of 2
    minutes

    You really are a wanker, goons.

    The diversion time, not the diversion number or method

    Thats exactly what is designed.

    CNS applies when no other diversions are set.

    You want CNS disabled, you ask for it

    Nope, I've never had any trouble.

    And I would have told you what product code to ask for, except, you were
    being a dick, so baby gets nothing.

    So you had to wait even longer, due to your attitude.
