It sounds decidedly dodgy.

Maybe your phone is just misreporting. AFAIK, re-direction is handle by the network/carrier, not your phone. All your phone does is report what the network tells it are the settings for your account. When I query the values on my phone it actually takes some time for the numbers to appear, presumably because the phone is querying the network for the values. If I try it in airplane mode I just get a "Network or SIM card error".

I would certainly be calling the customer support line for my account and asking them what's going on.
