[comp.dcom.telecom] Call Forwarding-Remote Variable

bote@uunet.uu.net (John Boteler) (03/28/91)

Lu, down in Florida, called the other day to announce to me that the
remotely variable call forwarding service recently described here is
available.

It was tested here in Washington D.C. about two years ago. The test
system had a poorly synthesized computer generated voice which would
prompt you through the process of identifying the subscribing
telephone number, verifying your identity with a passcode, prompting
for the new destination number, usw.

The for-profit system now online in Florida has the now-familiar CLASS
female prompt voice ("your Call Block service is neeooow aaawwnn...").
As soon as I can get a demo of it, I'll pass along all the details.
