It gets better :-(

These are all with a T610 and a O2 offline contract SIM CPW SP:

Query: *#21#send

Result: "Divert calls cancelled"

WTF! It was supposed to be a query! Anyway a quick panic and then a test and
it hasn't cancelled any diverts - a call to my mobile still goes to
voicemail after 30 seconds. Still....

Anyway, back to your original question - type 30 (all calls) is the only one
that appears to require **. Fax diverts and line 2 diverts don't work at
all, which may be understandable given it's a normal O2 SIM which doesn't
have fax enabled.
