6 Call Forwarding–Default (CFD) redirects incoming calls addressed to the called
7 subscriber’s Directory Number to the subscriber’s designated voice mailbox or to another
8 Directory Number (forward-to number), when the subscriber is engaged in a call, does
9 not respond to paging, does not answer the call within a specified period after being
10 alerted or is otherwise inaccessible (e.g., the subscriber’s mobile station is turned off, the
11 subscriber’s location is not known, the subscriber is reported as inactive, Call Delivery
12 not active for a roaming subscriber, Do Not Disturb is active for the subscriber).
13
14
CFD does not impact a subscriber’s ability to originate calls.

Registration
3
4
If the subscriber is authorized for Fixed Registration, the forward-to number shall be
5
registered upon authorization.
6
7
The CFD forward-to number may be registered by the service provider upon 8
authorization for Variable Registration subscribers. 9
10
11
CFD may be registered by a Variable Registration authorized subscriber specifying the
12
CFD registration feature code and a forward-to number termination address or voice
13
message system Modifier Digit 8 (“V” on the keypad), as in:

* FC + 8 + SEND (Voice message system). 18
19
If the registration is accepted, the system shall indicate success with feature confirmation 20
treatment. 21
22

Registration associates the subscriber with the termination address as a forward-to 23

number or with a particular voice mail box on a voice message system. Voice mail box 24
25
passwords are registered separately with the voice message system.
26
27
28
Deregistration
29
30
CFD may be deregistered upon deactivation (at the home service provider option).
31
32
If the deregistration is to be separate from deactivation, the deregistration feature code 33
must be distinct from the corresponding deactivation feature code. 34
35
36
CFD may be deregistered by a Variable Registration authorized subscriber specifying the
37
CFD deregistration feature code, as in:
38
39
* FC0 + SEND .
40
41
CFD shall be deregistered upon deauthorization.
42
43

22
23 If the deactivation is accepted, the system shall indicate success with feature
24 confirmation treatment.
25
26
27 CFD shall be deactivated upon deauthorization or deregistration.
28
29
30 Invocation
31
32 The feature treatment is invoked when there is an incoming call that is not or cannot be
33 answered (for any reason) and CFD is activated. Reasons for forwarding a call with CFD
34 include:
35
36 a. Do Not Disturb active, etc.
37
b. MS location is not known.
38
39 c. MS reported inactive.
40
41 d. Roaming with Call Delivery deactive.
42
43 e. No MS response to a page request.
44
f. No MS or subscriber response to alerting.
45
46 g. No subscriber response to Call Waiting notification.
47
48 h. Subscriber is engaged in a call or service. If the called subscriber is available
49 and in any state other than the idle state, the subscriber is considered to be busy
50 and CFD may apply.
51
52
53
Normal Operation with Successful Outcome
54
55 When CFD is active, incoming calls for the subscriber shall be forwarded to the
56
registered forward-to number or voice mailbox when the subscriber does not or cannot
57
answer the call.

1.2 Exception Procedures or Unsuccessful Outcome 20

21
22
Registration 23
24
If the subscriber is not authorized for the request, or if the forward-to number is not 25
acceptable, the system shall apply feature denial treatment when registration is attempted. 26
27
28
The system should not accept forward-to numbers to the operator (0- or 0+), service
29
codes (N11), police, fire or similar agencies, or a revertive call.
30
31
32
Deregistration 33
34
If the subscriber is not authorized for the request, the system shall apply feature denial 35
treatment when deregistration is attempted. 36
37
38
Activation 39
40
If the subscriber is not authorized for the request, or if a forward-to number is not 41
properly registered, the system shall apply feature denial treatment when activation is 42
attempted. 43
44
45
If the courtesy call to the forward-to number cannot be routed, then the call should be
46
given the appropriate treatment, such as applying the Special Information Tone for
47
intercept to the registering subscriber. Since the validity of the forward-to number is in
48
doubt, CFD may be deregistered and deactivated. Courtesy calls need not be answered to
49
verify the validity of the forward-to number.
50
51
52
Deactivation 53
54
If the subscriber is not authorized for the request, the system shall apply feature denial 55
treatment when deactivation is attempted. 56

If the forwarded call cannot be routed to the forwarded-to destination, then the call
5
should be given the appropriate treatment, such as applying the Special Information Tone
6
for intercept to the calling party.
7
8
9 Precautions should be taken to preclude undesirable looping of forwarded numbers
10 within the MSC or between the MSC and other switching centers. If such looping is
11 detected, the call forwarding should be given the appropriate treatment, such as applying
12 the Special Information Tone for intercept to the calling party.

36
* FC may not be supported (Fixed Registration and Permanent Activation option is
37
supported). Different CFD treatment may be applied for ADS calls.
38
39
40
41
Call Delivery (CD)
42
CD affects CFD. That is, if CD is inactive while the subscriber is roaming, the subscriber
43
is considered to be inaccessible. If the subscriber has CFD active, incoming calls shall be
44
45
diverted to the CFD forward-to number.
46
47 If CD is active and registered for a roaming subscriber, or if the subscriber is at home,
48 CFD works normally.
49
50
51
If the call is presented to the subscriber, the call is not answered, and the subscriber has
52
CFD active, the call shall be diverted to the CFD forward-to number.
53
54
55 Call Forwarding—Busy (CFB)
56
57 CFB takes precedence over CFD. That is, calls arriving to a busy subscriber with CFB
58 and CFD active shall be forwarded by CFB and not given CFD treatment.

CFNA takes precedence over CFD. That is, an incoming call for an inaccessible or non-
10
answering subscriber with both CFNA and CFD active shall be forwarded using CFNA. 11
12
13
Call Forwarding—Unconditional (CFU) 14
15
CFU takes precedence over CFD. That is, calls arriving when CFU is active shall be 16
forwarded unconditionally and not given the CFD treatment. 17
18
19
Call Transfer (CT) 20
21
None identified. 22
23
24

Call Waiting (CW) 25

26

CW is invoked before CFD. If a call arrives for a busy subscriber able to receive a 27

second call, the called subscriber has both CW and CFD active, and no call is waiting to 28

be answered; the call is presented to the subscriber with CW notification. If the call is not 29

answered within a period of time after applying the first CW notification, it shall be 30

given no answer treatment. 31

32
33
If a call arrives for a busy subscriber, the called subscriber has both CW and CFD active, 34
and if the called subscriber is unable to receive a second call or has a call waiting to be 35
answered; the call shall be forwarded immediately by CFD. 36

If the called (redirecting) subscriber has CFD invoked and either the CNIR mode is
3
Permanently Restricted or the CNIR Default is Presentation Restricted, the redirecting
4
number shall indicate presentation restricted to prevent presentation to the forward-to
5
party or to the forward-to station.

20
21 Interaction between DND and CFD is beyond the scope of this Standard. The following
22 describes a possible implementation:
23
24 DND interacts with CFD. A call to a subscriber with both DND and CFD active
25 shall be given CFD treatment immediately and not be given DND treatment.
26
27
28 Emergency Services (9-1-1)
29
30 Calls from an authorized emergency service bureau should not be forwarded.
31
32
33 Flexible Alerting (FA)
34
35 Interaction between FA and CFD is beyond the scope of this Standard. The following
36 describes a possible implementation:
37
38 CFD of the FA Pilot Directory Number shall apply to calls to the Pilot Directory
39 Number when CFD is active and the call is not or cannot be answered.
40
41
CFD for the FA pilot number takes precedence over CFD of the individual FA
42
members. That is, if both the FA pilot number and an FA member have CFD active,
43
CFD treatment is determined by the FA pilot number.
44
45
46
47 Group 3 Facsimile (G3 Fax)
48
49 * FC may not be supported (Fixed Registration and Permanent Activation option is
50 supported). Different CFD treatment may be applied for G3 Fax calls.

28
may terminate OTASP at any time in order to originate an emergency call.
29
30
31
Password Call Acceptance (PCA) 32
33
PCA takes precedence over CFD. If an incoming call arrives for a subscriber with PCA 34
and CFD active, the call is screened by PCA first. If PCA accepts the call, an attempt is 35
made to deliver or terminate the call to the subscriber. If the subscriber does not or 36
cannot answer the call, then CFD is invoked. 37
