[comp.dcom.telecom] Automatic Call Forwarding in Sweden

dan@sics.se (Dan Sahlin) (09/28/90)

In Sweden the call forwarding facility is available at all modern
(AXE) exchanges. They are rapidly replacing the old exchanges, so it
seems that most cities now have this service.

The service is available automatically for everybody, without asking
the telephone company for anything.  There is no charge for invoking
call forwarding.  The only thing you pay is the cost of the call from
your telephone number at to the phone number that you are forwarding
to.  The caller will not pay for this, but rather the subscriber who
has call forwarding.

The code for invoking call forwarding is  *21*telephone number#.  The
code disabling call forwarding is #21#.

What is the pricing for these services in other countries?  Are the
same codes used for invoking the service?
