    Incoming phone calls will no longer be forwarded to another number. The word “Turned Off” now appears below “Always forward.” [1]
    • You can disable the other forwarding options in the list if you wish. If you see “Forward calls to (phone number)” beneath an option, tap the option, then tap TURN OFF to disable it. By default, these are usually numbers for your voicemail . [2]
    • If you forwarded from another phone using your carrier , you won't be able to turn off call forwarding this way. Instead, get in touch with the carrier again.

    It all comes down to the point of: "you only get what you pay for." A cheap phone has reduced ability. An expensive phone will give you more features.
