once he picks up the call he can decide to accept, reject, or forward the call to Voicemail. Follow-me is
used to achieve two main goals: global Roaming - allows people with multiple phones to receive calls while

service cost problems. In addition, callback allows subscribers that travel to have global access to low

need to make a call, simply log into the Norfa web site and submit the phone number of the phone that you
are currently at, and the system will call you right back. The system supports multiple callback authentication
features that include: Web, Email, Caller ID, SMS message, PIN authenticated, and SMS DID callback services.
