Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for redirecting telephone calls from a wireless device in a telecommunications network. The existence of a predefined condition is determined after an incoming call is received in the wireless device. The predefined condition may be based on a number of criteria including the current time and date, the current quantity of minutes used in the wireless device, the current estimated bill for usage of the wireless device, a current quantity of received calls in the wireless device when the incoming call is received, and the telephone number associated with the incoming call when the incoming call is received. If the predefined conditions exists, call forwarding rules stored in the wireless device are retrieved and executed from the wireless device. The call forwarding rules include instructions, based on the predefined condition, for redirecting the incoming call.
