I cannot use Google Voice directly (I am outside the US) so I add the Voice URL to each of my google contacts to easily look them up and then initiate a callback.

I meant to have those be two different thoughts. Dialing the code for disabling unconditional will disable ALL call forwarding (even if, for example, you have just "Busy" forwarding rules enabled). Also, when you are "talking on forwarded calls", you are billed normal cell phone minutes for each minute you are on the phone (so if your call is being forwarded to your office line and you pickup, that call will be using your cell phone minutes) @TwoHawks, ah, that is indeed confusing what I wrote!

What do you mean by "Also, dialing the code for disabling unconditional forwarding will disable all call forwarding and you are ‘billed’ normal minutes for any forwarded call..." ? Seems contradictory?? If call forwarding is turned off then how can there be any call forwarded calls to charge normal minutes for ?? Thank you for this informative post.

Use MagicJack that costs yearly US$19 and get a USA number and forward that to Canada number. 2. Also try Skype to obtain USA number and forward that desired Canada number.
