Hello,
I have Fido Home Phone and it works very well. I have turned off voicemail. I'd like to set the no-answer-forwarding and busy-forwarding settings but the forwarding instructions for normal Fido cellular phones do not work with Fido Home Phone.
Does anyone know how to set the forwarding settings (no-answer transfer, busy transfer, number of rings, etc.) for Fido Home Phone?
Thanks,
Reg

Sure, I'm happy to share the details. Maria had to enable the $2 value pack on my Fido Home Phone to make this work. It's a bit misleading to me, as Fido clearly states call forwarding is included in Home Phone on their website.
Still, I don't care about the $2/mo to make this work and it's working now so I'm happy.
Well, I did try 21, but the instructions for no-answer-transfer and busy-transfer are to use 61 and 67.
If no reply *61*[10 digits]#
To deactivate: ##61#
If busy *67*[10 digits]#
To deactivate: ##67#
I tried these (and 21) with no effect on Fido Home Phone. They work fine on my Fido cellular phone.
This issue is totally resolved. Thank you for your help. I really like these new support forums, btw.

Great! Thanks for sharing!
You actually have the older $10 version of the Wireless Home Phone service, which didn't include call forwarding (hence Maria's solution to add the $2 value pack)
The new $15 Wireless Home Phone service does indeed include call forwarding.
Thanks again for sharing the solution with the community!

Basically YES. Cannot phone due to reno and will not work unless in window of reno room. Tower apprx 3 miles away in Selkirk
Did you try to place the handset in another room to see if the reception would improve @wmarv60 ?
I'll send you a PM so I can tell you more about the features you have in the plan .
