How do I turn off call forwarding on iPhone?

Go to Settings › Apps › Phone › Call Forwarding and turn it off. If you set forwarding with a code, also dial ##002# (or *73 on Verizon).

How do I check if call forwarding is on?

On most networks, dial *#21# and press call to see if every call is forwarded, or *#67#, *#61#, *#62# for missed calls.

Will my voicemail come back?

Usually, but not always. On many networks your voicemail is itself a forward of missed calls, so ##002# can turn it off along with yours. If missed calls stop going to voicemail, set it up again in your phone’s voicemail settings or ask your phone company to turn it back on. To keep voicemail, turn off only the forward you set: ##21# (every call), ##67# (busy), ##61# (no answer) or ##62# (phone off).

For any phone.
