I am interested in the procedures used with call forwarding, as supplied as a "Custom Calling Service" option on "normal" single line phones. In Mass we dial a 3 digit code (72#) wait for dial tone then the number to be forwarded to, if it answers any following incoming calls are forwarded. If it doesn't answer repeating the process once more is necessary. While calls are being forwarded each incoming call causes the original phone to ring once, however no pick up is possible. Outgoing calls are still possible. To cancel the original phone must dial 73#. Two beeps and dial tone confirm the cancellation. I am interested in any variation from this procedure, particularly in the behavior of the bypassed phone. How standard is it across all the local operating companies ? Steve Finberg
