You can try to do the following but likely you won't be able to do it now as the Coditional forwarding has not been working since VoLTE was introdcued

Dial this sequence: *61 *16475804001*11 *[then enter number of seconds to wait] # [SEND or CALL].

For the number of seconds to wait - choose from the following options:

For one ring, enter 5.
For two rings, enter 10.
For three rings, enter 15.
For four rings, enter 20.
For five rings, enter 25.
For six rings, enter 30 (This is the maximum number of rings/seconds).

SAMPLE: *61*16475804001*11*20#[SEND or CALL] - sets your phone to ring four times (20 seconds) before going to your voicemail. Best to check mailbox.
( also technically, dialing *61*16475804001*11*20# can be shortened to *61*16475804001**20# since voice service is assumed)

If that does not work, then yes, you are one of us without Coditional forwarding

But someone said it might be resolvable if your phone is using VoLTE instead of 3G for voice. First, what phone do you have? that would determine if you can use VoLTE or not

@Derek345

Galaxy S9 is not a compatible VoLTE deivce on PM network at the moment. So, you won't be able to set the number of rings as the Conditional forwarding is currently broken. 😞
