Hi I need help updating a version that has no official software for the recent firmware update because of the region it was made for. I want to do this with minimal harm to existing software, anyone having similar issues and found a solution? -- Sent from my Voice Recognition Watch© -------------------------------------------------------------------- God is not an excuse for lack of discipline -------------------------------------------------------------------- Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate,but that we are powerful beyond measure.It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.As we let our own light shine, we consciously give other people permission to do the same.

@Geeh The question is about a simple call diversion.Not about number hunting. bernard -----Original Message----- From: Geeh Cheezmode Sent: 10/11/2009 9:12:01 am Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] Safaricom Bites, Again! James if I get you right, that service is available. A number (usually a PABX) is set up in the HLR and the IN as well and ofcourse the MSCs/MSSs. When you dial the number the HLR returns a msg with a flag indicating n numbers are available for that number. so what happens is that customers only have one number to dial but the number itself is linked to other predefined numbers in a pool , so when the primary number is not available it picks the next in the pool (defined in the IN) and so on in a round robbin manner. but you have to pay of it since its the same as a normal MTC.

Safaricom Bites, Again!
by Mbugua Njihia 09 Nov '09

09 Nov '09

:-) there is nothng wrong with your experience. You diverted to another network meaning a call has to be originated from Safaricom to your other line. Of course the charge will be on your current line and once its out of credit you go mteja coz the call cannot be originated from your number anymore.

Hello, I've already googled and binged but can't find what am looking for. I'd to use XML to create, store and call data but avoid using DOM parser. One big problem I ran into was creation of .xl and .csv tab data file creation where data is to be bound to organised cells or tabs. Anyone know of online reading material or a site that covers the subject line? Want to work with things like XElement and not XmlElement.... Cheers.
