Abstract

A method for updating call redirection destinations, in which a call redirection destination which has been changed by a user entry on a first subscriber terminal is stored for a second subscriber terminal, which forms a point of origin for a call redirection, in an associated memory together with the point of origin of the call redirection as call redirection information. The stored call redirection information is sent to a control unit associated with the second subscriber terminal. The control unit checks whether a call redirection indicated by the call redirection information has been set up. A call redirection is set up on the basis of the result of the check.
