So they are discouraging call diverts or what? , Is it the same with service providers abroad?

Please guys clear this up for me... In Nigeria, do the networks charge you for incoming calls, even if it's from a number on the same network? If this is the case someone needs to step in because subscribers are being robbed in clear daylight.

Brix, no network charges for incoming calls here in Nigeria...
What we were talking about is related to CALL DIVERTS..
you can divert all incoming calls to your number to another number e.g your secretary's number, that's when you dont feel like receiving the call on ur phone...... thereby if I make a call to your number, it diverts and rings on your secretary's phone instead.
it's just that in Nigeria with the example given above, your line gets charged as well as the line of whoever tried to call you too. that's like double charges for one call.....
I wonder if the same thing is applicable in SA too?

The way I see this issue is, during a call divert there are actually 2 on-going calls: A to B, and B to C. Since that uses extra system resources, there is nothing wrong being charged for both calls.
But I would at least expect that intra-network diverts should attract rates lower than regular call tarriffs.

@mamba: I speak under correction but you only get charged once, if you're calling a mobile number and it's been diverted to a fixed line you'll pay the applicable mobile tariff. I actually need to get some clarity on this because I don't divert my calls to other number all that often.

Here's how it works here: If I call mamba & he has diverted his calls to another line (mobile or fixed), I get billed & his diverted line gets billed.

what's the difference between call divert and call forwarding??
i see call divert as a call bouncing off from one line to another and not call A to B and B to C as AYA explained, therefore the name should be changed from call divert..
do you know you can actually divert your call to your voicemail number?? why dont you get double charging in that case, i see no difference between voicemail and diverting a numbers within same network network.

If anyone has the time on Monday 21st & Tuesday 22nd, Naija's 1st value-added expo, e-NNOVATE 2005, is holding at the MUSON CENTRE. Here's the marketing pitch:
"WORK better | PLAY harder | ENJOY life
"Make money. Move your office with you wherever you go. Access your bank account while on the move. Transact business wherever you are. Access a million and one opportunities.
"Come discover how technology can so cheaply help to add value to your life"
For over 2 years, I have stood alone crusading for people & businesses to take advantage of mobile data. I have been looked upon as a madman. But finally, people are waking up - that's what this expo is about. I'll be there. You can get more details & be updated at

Just BTW are Apple Computers widely used in Nigeria? Nice to see a technology show being hosted in Naija. I'm weighing up the options of buying a new laptop...would want an iBook or a PowerBook G4.
