maybe give up on call forwarding and just email a voice message.

Yes, thanks Avi.  I do  play those recordings when they dial *72 and *73.  One cannot expect his customer to actually listen the prompt you play back, can they!
 
I just googled some more and found something in one Anthony’s books (which I have now ordered both of)
 
It appears that I can set a presence event to a dummy user and have the phone’s lines with that user logged in change colors!
 
Now … how to send a presence event in a dial plan????  Google don’t fail me now.

If that's an actual call.. we have callie recordings for that.
      <prompt phrase="Call forwarding has been cancelled." filename="ivr/ivr-call_forwarding_has_been_cancelled.wav"/>
      <prompt phrase="Call forwarding has been set." filename="ivr/ivr-call_forwarding_has_been_set.wav"/>

I have the DialPlan set up nicely so they can dial *72 to forward all DID calls to their answering service and *73 to turn it off.  Today she Dialed *72 to turn it off 4 different times, and since that is the code to turn it on --- it did NOT turn off.  She was livid and sent me hate mail about how “terrible IP phones are and they never work …”
 
I even consoled her saying how *72 and *73 have no inherent indicators to show which means on and off.   I have offered the obvious solutions of SPEED DIAL buttons that are labeled “Enable” and “Disable”.
 
Now my question.  Anyone have any ideas how to use a line button, or possibly MWI to indicate that lines are forwarded (a db value).  MWI is clearly in use so line button is my preference, but if MWI had a flash function, etc????  I have unused line buttons – How can I make them show busy (like shared call appearance) from the switch?  Maybe a dummy user/extension I do something clever with?
 
If it matters the phones are Cisco 504G (4 line).
 
Thanks in advance,
Sean
