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

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.
