What is this symbol on iPhone 4 ?

Today I have a symbol/icon on top of my iPhone 4 that I've never seen before.

It's like a telephone handset symbol with an arrow to the right of it.

Any ideas what that's about?

It's the call forwarding icon - are you on Three by any chance?

Thanks it seemed to appear for no reason. Yes I'm with three, is this a common problem with them?

Yes, doesnt just happen to iphones, its a network issues. I think dialing Dial ##002# resets the call forwards. You may need to reboot

Just dial ##21# SEND and it will go away.

As an alternative, if you just go in the the Call Fowarding option within the Settings app under phone, it will also go away.

Its not an issue and it doesnt affect your phone. The short explanation is that Three have an agreement with Vodafone that if you enter an area where Vodafone has better coverage, you switch over to their network in the background. In my opinion it gives Three a network advantage. From a user perspective you dont normally notice, it doesnt affect your phone, and you use your phone as normal. You're still on your Three pricing package.

Yeah, me and the gf both get this occasionally after reboot (both with 3). Just go into the settings as described above and it'll clear itself.

If you knock this off, how do you get it back on?

When you use call forwarding.
