System and method for implementing and accessing call forwarding services

摘要

A communications service for communications addressed to or from a communications address is implemented by receiving, from a requester though a packet switching network, a request to access current communications service data for an account for the communications address. The current communications service data for the account is forwarded to the requester through the packet switching network. An instruction to change an on/off state of the communications service is received from the requester through the packet switching network. The instruction to a communications service manager is forwarded through a data network. The on/off state of the communications service is changed in accordance with the instruction.
