Hi ​@LeeA66Do you use a VPN with this phone? If so, temporarily disable it.Here are some other suggestions I have found:-If your iPhone 14 call forwarding settings keep switching off,it could be due to a few reasons including carrier restrictions, SIM card issues, or software glitches.To resolve this, ensure call forwarding is enabled in your iPhone settings, and then check with your carrier to confirm it's also enabled on their end and that your SIM card supports it.A restart or software update might also help.Here's a more detailed breakdown:1. Check Call Forwarding Settings on Your iPhone:Go to Settings > Phone > Call Forwarding.Ensure the toggle switch for Call Forwarding is turned on.If it's already on, try toggling it off and on again.If you have a dual SIM iPhone, ensure the setting is correct for the SIM you're using.2. Contact Your Carrier:Call forwarding is a feature controlled by your mobile carrier.Confirm with your carrier that call forwarding is enabled for your specific plan and SIM card.Some carriers may have restrictions or require specific configurations for call forwarding, especially with international or prepaid SIM cards.Ask them to check for any potential issues on their end.3. Restart Your iPhone:A simple restart can resolve temporary software glitches.To restart, press and hold the side button and either volume button until the power-off slider appears.Slide to power off, then turn your iPhone back on.You can also perform a force restart, which can be helpful if a regular restart doesn't resolve the issue.4. Check for Software Updates:Make sure your iPhone is running the latest version of iOS.Go to Settings > General > Software Update to check for updates.If an update is available, install it.5. Check SIM Compatibility:Some SIM cards, particularly older or international ones, may have limitations with call forwarding.Contact your carrier to confirm if your SIM card is compatible with the call forwarding feature.6. Consider Conditional Call Forwarding:If you want to forward calls only under specific conditions (e.g., when busy, no answer), make sure conditional call forwarding is enabled and configured correctly with your carrier.Your carrier can provide details on how to set this up.I have also found this answer with regards to the same problem:-‘You are correct. I figured this out on my own earlier when I put my SIM card into an Android phone and it did the same thing - difference being the Android phone told me with an error message that it was a SIM card error. My iPhone never told me this, it just didn’t work. Have replaced the SIM with a new one and it appears to be working.’To get a replacement SIM:-Hope this helps x​​​​​​​

Although the setup appears to fail, have you tested if your call forwarding actually works, ​@LeeA66?
