Value Added Codes - Voice Mail / Divert Calls / Call forward


For example voice mail service is free on most of the cellular companies but nobody is using it and even people dont know about this free facility.
If you activate your voice mail service in one/more of the following conditions then the person making call to you will hear a pre-recorded message to record his message and an SMS will be sent to you that some one has recorded a message for you. So you cannot miss any important message even if your phone is busy or you are out of network.

You can divert your calls to another phone number instead of your voice mail service, to divert calls your calls to any other number then type that number instead of 123 (your own number) type (number on which you want to divert)
To divert and activate voice mail as well as, type 123 (number on which you want to divert) If you are a mobilink user then you can even retrieve your message from simple landlines telephone by an easy way.
It is a very great facilty in my opinion
This facility is also available at land lines, for example on PTCL
