more specifically, its is deemed to be "not reliable" from the phone. I find it can solve some issues. If it is available, then someone must have enabled it in your config. It can also be selectively enabled via EFK.
If the phone is not functional (power, etc.), the call forwarding will not happpen. It's preferred that it (forwarding) happens on the server. Beyond that, I find it fits in certain environments. I also find it resolves an issue with outbound caller-id with some itsp's and PRI providers where the outbound caller ID HAS TO BE one of your numbers with them (if I recall the use case correctly). It's also desirable in some environments to be able to turn on/off call forwarding from the handset and not provide access to the web gui. If it is enabled on your user phones and you don't know why, you likely have bigger issues and it sounds like you probably need to figure out why the users are able to do things that are off by default and gain some control over your environment. If not, CHAOS will ensue. Are you running an EFK on these? If so, talk to the guy who wrote it and take the entry out.
