Doesn't it only bill once a user picks up the call.

2009/7/14 Dennis Kioko <dmbuvi@gmail.com>

thats a very expensive loop brian, since you will be billed for the re-directions since its an equivalent of you receiving the call and calling your other line(at least thats how most t6elcos implememnt it).
 
I Think then it possible to implement the same loop on two telcos that way there is no charge if the call is not picked up.


As for Yu, they have a service called imoved, which terminates an incoming divert and then sends a message to the caller informing them that you are on their network.
 
Orange has something similar, but one has to activate it.


Otherwise, telcos are too mean to give you free diverts across newtorks. if our competitor has you, we must make money from the divert.

Just to add create a loop between Telcos

call a safcom number > diverts to zain number on condition that not answered > rings on zain number > diverts to YU number on condition that not answered > rings on YU number > diverts to Orange number on condition that not answered > rings on Orange > diverts to safcom number on condition that not answered.

If you are calling from a Zain line, and you've been disconnected (for non payment) you get that message when you try call ANY number, even Customer Care.

Kimani,

Dont blame safaricom for everything, you are the people who blamed
Kanu and moi for everythig that happened in life... Ever heard of call
divert? It is a service that allows one to route calls to an
alternative number in the occasion that either its not answered,
unreachable or busy.

David.
