If using the Google dialer

Phone > settings > calling accounts > call forwarding

On iPhone
Settings > Phone > Call forwarding


Side note

I have no idea if it's built into their plans. Could or could not work. I know it's unavailable for our prepay plans. Kogan could allow you on their plans.

Yeah sounds like they just don't have it built into the plans/locked like our prepay plans.

Kogan's website says it can be done 

 

 

 

 

CAN I DIVERT CALLS TO ANOTHER NUMBER?

 

 

 

 

 

Diverting calls to another number is possible, but only via your handset, not the network.

 

Not all handsets have this functionality, so be sure to check your handset user manual for instructions on enabling this, if applicable.

Interesting.

 

I just grabbed my fiancees phone who is on Kogan Mobile and when attempting to do always forwarding I get a unexpected response from network.

 

I'd push for customer service to raise a ticket with us to see why it isn't working when their website says yes.

OneNZ Prepaid subscribers can not use call forwarding (via mobile network) so I would be surprised if Kogan customers can

@MaxineN This is working as designed Prepaid subscribers are not enabled to setup call diverts at network level

 

Not sure what level of access you have got but if you run the ZMSO command on MSISDN or IMSI you will see the feature deactivated under bearer T11

 

CFU = N

 

CFB = N

 

CFNA = N

 

CFNR = N

 

The only one you will see active is OCCF to 6421xxxxxx and customers can not change this one

This is the answer (and also what my assumption was as it's not built into the prepay propositions much like ours).

 

 

 

It's a bit interesting because to my knowledge the only diverts I know of is on the network level via phone settings(as per my first post).
