FleXtel Service Update - March 2001

Earlier Updates

Here we are, well into 2001, I hope you are finding it a very prosperous year.

We are delighted to announce the introduction of a new feature - Rerouting using SMS Text Messaging. A brilliant new feature for those hopping around the country, if that's possible with drifting snow, foot-and-mouth, road congestion and rail disruption.

If you've ever jumped into the car or onto a train and remembered you hadn't rerouted your numbers -I know I have- then you'll love this feature. I'm sure you'll find it tremendously useful -I know I do!

Text Message rerouting is yet another really great feature giving you even greater flexibility. It allows you to divert calls whilst on the move, from your mobile, even in areas of poor signal or noisy environments like trains and buses.

With this versatile new service you can pre-set a message to reroute, for example, from work to home or you can have a Weekend and a Workday setting. Store these pre-set messages in your mobile's memory. When you want to reroute your FleXtel number, simply send the appropriate message to our Text Message Reroute gateway. You will receive the usual 'Delivered' report confirming that the message has been successfully delivered to FleXtel's gateway. But, if you make a mistake don't worry, the system will send an error message telling you what the problem is.

Full details of this terrific feature are given on our website at guide_sms.html. Additionally there is an SMS Reroute FAQ page on the website to give you even more assistance.

Please keep us informed of your experiences of the service - good and bad, by emailing ask@flextel.com.
