3. How does it work?
You will be issued with a special SIM card that can store 2 mobile numbers. At any one time, only 1 of the nos. will be turned on to “active”. All incoming calls / SMS made to the “inactive” no will forwarded to the “active” numbers automatically, unless specific call diversion setting has been made via phone setting.
Example:
Scenario 1 Customer has 2 mobile lines – Line A & Line B.
Customer toggled Line B to “active”. Incoming call (Including peer-to-peer SMS) calling in to Line A will be automatically forwarded to Line B. If customer has set call divert for Line B to be diverted to Line C, Line C will receive the call.
4. Will I be charged for the forwarding of SMS?
There will not be any forwarding charge for SMS.
5. Can MMS, GPRS calls be forwarded?
Only voice & SMS (only peer-to-peer excluding content) calls can be forwarded from the “inactive” line to the “active” line. Fax calls will not be forwarded. If a SMS (non-peer-to-peer)/MMS is sent to the “inactive” line, a SMS alert will be sent to the “active” line, alerting the subscriber to toggle to the “inactive” line to retrieve his SMS/MMS msg.
