Conflict with OBi * codes and Phone Power * codes

I don't send the string, using a touch tone phone I just dial the numbers.
I'll try adding *21. (*21 does work now to access vm)
Should be working if checking voicemail is working. I just tried it the way you are doing it by dialing one digit at a time rather than sending the string. Worked fine. After I hit the "#" I hear a quick stutter-tone and a couple tones and my forwarding phone starts ringing.
I can then login to the PP web portal and check forwarding and all my inbound calls are being forwarded to the number I entered following *72.

Sounds like what I hear but then cf doesn't work. A couple of times when I've had the forward to phone ring when I finished the cf sequence. Another time I got distracted and did not hang up and the forward to phone was actually ringing and could be answered. It was like I had not dialed the *72.
I did add *21 and the first time it did not work. I then tried to cf again but used a faster entry rate and it worked. After I finished entering the call forwarding number and the #, I heard the normal beep beep tones that one usually hears when you call forward a land line. I think working/not working may be a function of dialing speed.
In my regular setup (and not with this cheap test handset I am using) I would have call forwarding in the phone directory and dialing would be very quick.
Now I have to rearrange my phones and try this again. It may be I do not have to change the digit map at all, just dial faster.
Isn't technology fun!

Does Phone Power expect to first receive only *72 and then the forwarding number separately or both together? If it's the later try this:
*21|*72xxxxxxxxxx|*73|
cracker:
Thanks. I'll check on that but it won't be 'til tomorrow.

After getting set up to do some more testing I find that PhonePower went ahead and disconnected my number. I can't do any further testing.
I know voip.ms / OBi100 will do what I need to do so I'll stick with that arrangement. It is just a bit more expensive.
