Abstract

In a method for optimizing the use of a telephone network including the steps of assigning telephone numbers to a first group of users within a geographical area, assigning telephone numbers to a second group of users outside of said geographical area and interconnecting together all the users of said first and second groups through telephone lines, such that each user is connected to at least one telephone line, and switches, whereby one of the users may telephone another user by dialling the telephone number of the other user, thus opening a communication between said user and said other user. The improvement includes the additional steps of assigning another telephone number to a primary user in the first group of users on an existing telephone line of the primary user, redirecting any communication directed to the other telephone number of the primary user to a secondary user in the second group of users by programming a call forward command on the other telephone number thus directing a telephone call to the telephone number of the secondary user, such that the secondary user in the second group of users may be telephoned by dialling the other telephone number of the primary user in the first group of users. The improved method preferably further includes the additional step of publishing a directory of all of the telephone numbers of the first group of users within the urban centre, whereby the other telephone number of the primary user refers to the secondary user.
