The CBOSSnewNumber product is intended to notify those who call the service user of a number change and to provide them with a new number.
As a rule, changing a number is extremely inconvenient, the greatest inconvenience being the probable loss of contacts. The CBOSSnewNumber product helps solve this problem. When the subscriber changes the number, at the old SIM card he/she enables the call forwarding to the service number. If someone calls the subscriber’s old number, the call is forwarded to the service that notifies the caller of the number change and notifies the service user of calls to his/her old number (subscribers are notified depending on the service settings).
SYSTEM OPERATION
The system operates in the following way. The CBOSSnewNumber service receives a call forwarded from the old subscriber’s number and retrieves the associated new number of the service user from the database. If the “Notification of Number Change” service is enabled at the service application of the retrieved number:
- the caller is played back the number change message;
- if the caller notification is enabled in the service parameters, the service sends a short message with the notification that the called party has changed the number with the new number specified or not (depending on the subscriber notification type);
- if the service user notification is enabled in the service parameters, the service sends a short message with the notification that a call has been made to his/her old number as well as with the called number.
To modify service parameters, the SMS interface is provided.
