[comp.dcom.telecom] Call Forwarding/Busy/No-answer

Steve Elias <eli@pws.bull.com> (07/30/90)

The "call forward on busy" and "call forward on no answer" features
are beginning to be offered in eastern Mass.  I just signed up for new
phone service and they mentioned this to me.  I'm going to try using
the above two features ($1.35/month each) instead of regular call
forwarding ($3/month).

[Moderator's Note: Indeed, it is a much better offering. I have it on
my cell phone. With regular call forwarding, it is easy to forget to
turn it on when you leave, or turn off when you return. If you use the
'forward on busy/no answer' feature instead, you can leave it turned
on all the time. You'll always get three or four rings before the call
is transferred back out to voicemail or wherever.   PT]
