I wonder if there is probably some technical protocol that all  
phones use?  'Cuz, it turns out, I can't turn off "Forward if  
Busy" and "Forward if Unreachable" Those settings have pre- 
filled with a number that represent the LuckyMobile voicemail  
system.  I don't remember ever entering those!

But I undid the "Forward if No Reply" and changed it to the  
Luckymobile v-mail number.  Maybe that will now redirect  
unanswered calls when the phone is off.  Will try it later.

As above, yes.. the pre-filled number for [1] and [2] were the  
v-mail number.

I have tested [1] and [2] when the phone is ON.. and calls  
would go to Vmail.

It can be fun though.  Send them to 1-888-447-5594 !!! :D
