Telephone services that provide advanced call forwarding. Initially developed for the circuit-switched Intelligent Network (IN), voice over IP (VoIP) also provides such services. "Find me" forwards calls either in sequence or at the same time to a list of numbers. "Follow me" forwards calls to numbers based on a time schedule. Both functions are typically offered in the same service package. See unified messaging.
