On T-mobile, a subscriber can choose to forward to another number in the 
PSTN if the phone cannot be found, they call unavailable, and even a 
different number if the cell doesn't answer in a number of rings ( AFAIK 
not adjustable by the subscriber )
This can all be done a the mobile phone, so no customer service help 
required.
Unknown if VeriZon can do the same.
Questionable if customer service can answer either, if they are as good 
as most!
