The present invention provides a method and system for implementing
feature interactions between an AIN-based service and a switch-based
call-forwarding service. In the present invention, the switch-based
call-forwarding generates an Off-Hook Delay (OHD) trigger. In response,
the SSP suspends call processing and sends the forward-to number to the
SCP. Based upon the SCP's determination of whether the forward-to number
is for voicemail and other criteria such as time of day, day of the week,
etc, the SCP determines whether the switch-based call-forward should be
permitted or inhibited.
